Abstract :
Taşlı Tepe, which is located in Siverek district of Şanlıurfa province, is a Pre- Pottery Neolithic site with “T” shaped pillars similar to those in Göbekli Tepe and Nevali Çori. Since the area lies on the slopes of the Karacadağ Mountain where the einkorn wheat was first domesticated it seemed highly plausible to come across new Neolithic sites in the territory. The site has been discovered during the Cultural Inventory Studies carried out in the region. This paper deals with the location and description of the settlement and its probable dating.
