'''Hallan Çemi Tepesi''' is a [[Protoneolithic]] site in south-eastern [[Anatolia]] which was discovered in 1989 and is believed to be more than 11,000 years old (founded c. 9500 BC). Tools were made from [[flint]] and [[obsidian]]. There is evidence of [[malachite]], a [[copper]] ore, being imported and suggesting the existence of a trading network. Staples included [[lentil]]s, [[almond]]s and [[pistachio]]s. Whereas sheep and goat were usually the first animals to be kept as livestock by Near East communities, it appears that Hallan Çemi began with pigs.<ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (1 for 2)</ref>
