It is the site of Kazane Höyük, an archaeological site that covers 40 hectares, making it the largest in the Southeastern Anatolia Region.[5] The site dates to the Halaf and Ubaid periods of the Chalcolithic era, the early Bronze Age, and the Iron Age.[5] Excavation started in 1992 and as of 2008 an area of about 400 square meters has been excavated.[5] Remains of houses from the late Chalcolithic were found with mud brick, adobe, and pisé walls and plastered floors.[5] According to excavator Patricia Wattenmaker, the settlement at Kazane Höyük was a large town surrounded by thick city walls around 1800 BCE.[5]
