When and why did the first farmers leave Anatolia and cross the Aegean Sea? We believe the answer may lay in a little-known archaeological site not far from the classical Greek/Roman site of Ephesus, on the Turkish Aegean coast.

We would like to acknowledge the work of Professor BARBARA HOREJS and her team, who were responsible for the excavations at Çukuriçi Höyük 2007-14. One of the main sources for our research on this film was 'Çukuriçi Höyük 1 - Anatolia and the Aegean from the 7th to the 3rd Millennium BC'.
