Karahan Tepe is an ancient neolithic site (c. 9500-9000 BC) covering an area of 325000 m2 in the Tektek Mountains in southeastern Turkey. Located 63 km east of Şanlıurfa (Urfa, formerly Edessa, Mesopotamia), it was discovered in 1997 by Bahattin Çelik, a Turkish archaeologist. Çelik named the site after a nearby hill known as Karahan Tepe.
