Its story
Hacılar Höyük is a prehistoric settlement near Hacılar village, about 25 km southwest of Burdur. Excavations revealed that communities living from farming and animal husbandry lived here from the 7th millennium BC. Its painted pottery and mother goddess figurines are well known enough to be displayed in museums around the world. A Bronze Age "saw-tooth" defensive layout was also identified at the settlement. There is little to see on site; the finds are in the Burdur Museum.
