Unearth Niğde's Stories at Köşk Mound: A Legacy Carved in Stone!

Köşk Mound

Excavations conducted at Köşk Tumulus (Köşk Höyük), set on the rocky slope east of the Roman Pool, show that the oldest agriculture and animal husbandry settlement of the Bor Plain (BCE 6050-4911) was in this area. The first four layers of the five-layer settlement date to the late Neolithic period, and the latest layer belongs to the early Chalcolithic period. In the Neolithic period, the architecture indicates multi-room small spaces that were expanded according to need. In the Chalcolithic period, the houses were adjacent to each other, lining streets built according to a city plan.
