About
Nevalı Çori (Turkish: Nevali Çori, Kurdish: Newala Çorî) was an early Neolithic settlement on the middle Euphrates, in Şanlıurfa Province, Southeastern Anatolia, Turkey. It is dated to the Pre-Pottery Neolithic B period, from 8400 to 8100 BC, and is part of the "Taş Tepeler" sites. The site is known for having some of the world's oldest known temples and monumental sculpture. Together with the earlier site of Göbekli Tepe and other Taş Tepeler sites, it has revolutionised scientific understanding of the Eurasian Neolithic period. The oldest domesticated Einkorn wheat was found there.
