Catal Huyuk was one of the worlds first towns and is the largest best-preserved Neolithic site ever found! Located in Turkey overlooking the Konya Plain and about 87 miles from Mount Hasan, this ancient village existed from about 6500 B.C. to 5700 B.C. It had a population of about 6,000 citizens who were among the first farmers. They grew wheat and barley and raised sheep and goats. They also continued to hunt animals like aurochs, wolves, foxes, and leopards.
