Pre-pottery Neolithic archaeological site of Sayburc dating from 11,000 years, under excavation, Sanliurfa Province, South East Turkey showing scene carved into the bedrock with two leopards facing a male figure

---

The modern village of Sayburc has been emptied of inhabitants after the discovery by a local man of a carved petroglyph under his house, now demolished. Excavations are ongoing. Previously T shaped pillars were used by local people to build walls so some of the site has been disturbed but now evidence of dwellings dating from 11000 year have been unearthed
