First excavated in the 1950s by Lloyd and Mellaart, the Beycesultan Tepesi archaeology site (10 kilometers south of the provincial town of Çivril) is an important prehistoric settlement.
For the Stone Age alone, 21 layers have been found within 11 meters of sediment.
Evidence of settlement here has been found up to the early Bronze Age (1250 BC) and again from 400 years later, up to the Byzantine era.
