Hacılar: This is the earliest-known agricultural settlement in Anatolia.
It is located 25 km west of Burdur. The skulls of the
Eurafrican and
Proto-Mediterranean types of the Mediterranean race were found here at
a level dated to approximately the first half of the seventh millennium and
the skeletons of the same types, though in limited numbers, came from a
level dated ca. 5400-5050/5000 B.C. (Mellaart, 1975).
Çatal Höyük: This, the largest known Neolithic site in the Near-
East, is located 11 km north of Çumra in Konya. 81 percent of the 268 skeletons found here belong to a period between ca 6200 and 5830 B.C. 59
percent of these skeletal remains represent the Eurafrican type and 17
percent of them are of the Proto-Mediterranean type, while 24 percent
represent that of the Alpine (Mellaart, 1975; Angel, 1971).
