Yümüktepe - Mersin was occupied from Early Neolithic to the Middle Ages. The site was excavated by John Garstang in 1936-1949 and 1952. Locally known as Soguk Su Tepe. The origins of the earliest settlement dates back to the eight millenium BC. In the Middle-Late Chalcolithic period the occupations of the site ceased. The new settlement was founded in Early Bronze Age ca. 2800 BC.
John Garstang distinguished 33 different cultural levels.
