The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- That early settlement, important in the spread of the Neolithic Revolution from the Near East to Europe, lasted for almost a millennium before being inundated by rising water levels.
- The first human settlement on the Asian side, the Fikirtepe mound, is from the Copper Age period, with artifacts dating from 5500 to 3500 BCE.
- On the European side, near the point of the peninsula, there was a settlement during the early 1st millennium BCE.
