From Archaeology Magazine's November/December 2008 issue...
The press here is fond of calling the site "the Turkish Stonehenge," but the comparison hardly does justice to this 25-acre arrangement of at least seven stone circles.

It could be decades before we get a complete picture of the site. Until then I will be keeping an eye out for the most recent finds. I have included a link to a page (scroll to near the bottom of the page - nothing new in the text) featuring an image of a carved vu...
