Ayanlar Höyük is an archaeological site in the Southeastern Anatolia of Turkey. It is the remains of a settlement occupied during the early to mid Pre-Pottery Neolithic B period.[1] Located 30km west of Urfa, it was discovered in 2013. It is a large mound like Göbekli Tepe and Karahan Tepe.[1] The site visibly belongs to the Taş Tepeler culture, but remains to be excavated.
