Domuztepe (meaning Pig Hill in Turkish) was a large, late Neolithic settlement in south east Turkey, occupied at least as early as c.6,200BC and abandoned c.5,450BC. The site is located to the south of Kahramanmaraş. Covering 20 hectares, it is primarily a Halaf site of the 6th millennium BC and is the largest known settlement of that date.
The site was investigated between 1995 and 2006 by a team from the University of Manchester and the University of California, Los Angeles. Work resumed in 2008, since when the excavation has been a joint project between the University of Manchester and the British Museum.
The site was certainly founded by the Ceramic Neolithic (c.6400BC) but earlier occupation may well be present. By the late Halaf almost all of the 20 hectare area of the site was probably occupied. Prehistoric occupation ended towards the end of the Halaf period (c.5450 BC). The site was reoccupied during the Hellenistic period and was occupied by a significant settlement during the first millennium AD. There is evidence for a church at this time, and a small Christian cemetery has been excavated.

Time
Ocean without a harbor
Lives
Satellites of the "history whale"
Wherever this travel leads him
Where could be its ending?
Like a ploughshare
History plows through (the) eternal sea
But what could be its destiny?
Wherever this travel leads him
Wherever could be his ending
What is life
Without the streaming of time?
Could it be that
Without time the journey of life won't end?
When time stands still
Death shall be no more
When time stands still
Could we live forever?
So he closed his notes
While he is reaching for the lever
Steam and flashes fills the lab
The propulsion starts to rattle
In madness of her loss he swore
To fight death forever
A single tear falls on the panel
When he pulls the final lever...
...to stop the time
Stop the time forever!
STOP!
Anger´s getting grimmer
And red signals starts to shimmer
And the engine screams of violence
Growing faster
GROWING FASTER!
And he's laughing, he's crying
A silver tear stopped in its fall
His own ocean stops to flow
As the time stops to be
Reality defers itself into another new dimension
Implosion, silent victory of the materia over vision
The iron gratings come back to his mind
He sees the grey walls of his cell again
"No chance for cure, no therapy"
The doctor speaks and closes the file
"Too sad for him, it seems he has to stay until the end of time"
