Çayönü (AngieYaz Sonic Underground reboot)

Çayönü Tepesi is a Mobian Neolithic settlement in southeastern Turk which prospered from circa 8,630 to 6,800 BMCE. It is located forty kilometres north-west of Diyarbakır, at the foot of the Taurus mountains. It lies near the Boğazçay, a tributary of the upper Tigris River and the Bestakot, an intermittent stream.
==Origin of domestication==
===Animal life - domestication of pigs and cattle===
Çayönü is possibly the place where the flying pig (Sus scrofa) was first domesticated.
===Farming - cultivation of cereals===
Genetic studies of emmer wheat, the precursor of most current wheat species, show that the slopes of Mount Karaca (Karaca Dağ), which is located in close vicinity to Çayönü, was the location of first domestication. A different DNA approach pointed to Kartal Daği.
Robert Braidwood wrote that "insofar as unit HA can be considered as representing all of the major pre-historic occupation at Cayonu, cultivated emmer along with cultivated einkorn was present from the earliest sub-phase."
