Aşıklı Höyük
Aşıklı Höyük, Aksaray şehir merkezinin 25 km doğusunda, Melendiz Çayı yakınında kurulmuştur. Aksaray’da bulunan ve 11 bin yıl önce ilk kafatası ameliyatının gerçekleştirildiği Aşıklı Höyük, Orta Anadolu’nun en eski yerleşimi olarak kabul edilmektedir. Burada yaşayan insanlar, bölgede ilk üretim faaliyetlerini gerçekleştiren, yerleşik hayata geçen ve hayvanları evcilleştiren ilk medeni toplum olma özelliğine sahiptir.
Çalışmalar sırasında elde edilen bilgiler, Aşıklı Höyük yerleşiminin tek bir kültürel döneme tarihlenmesini ortaya koymuş; Çanak Çömlekli Neolitik Çağ’a ait olduğu belirlenmiştir. Şu anda yerleşimde üç katman tespit edilmiştir. İlk katman; yüzey toprağının hemen altında bozulmuş ve parçalanmış zemin kalıntıları, kanallar ve çukurlarla temsil edilmektedir. Yerleşimin ana katmanı; en az 10 yapı seviyesine sahip ikinci katmanı oluşturur. Höyüğün kuzey yamacında sınırlı bir alanda yapılan kademeli bir hendekte, 3 yapı evresine sahip üçüncü seviye; Çanak Çömlekli Neolitik Çağ’a aittir. Mimari kazıları hala devam eden Aşıklı Höyük’te yerleşim düzeni ana hatlarıyla belirlenmiştir; taş temel kullanılmadan konut olarak kullanılan; kerpiç yapılar içeren bir oturma bölümü, özel işlevlere sahip yapılar ve çevresindeki diğer ilgili yapıları kapsayan bölümlerden oluşmaktadır. Ev zeminleri ve duvarları sıvanmıştır. Evlerde en yaygın yapı elemanı ocaktır. Ocaklar genellikle tek odalı evlerde bulunur ve evin köşesine yakın bir yere yerleştirilirdi.
Geçmiş yıllarda Aşıklı’da yapılan kazılar sonucunda, yerleşimin gruplandırılmış kerpiç binalardan oluştuğu ve bunların dar sokaklarla birbirinden ayrıldığı bilinmekteydi. ‘Konut’ olarak tanımlanan bu yapılar; boyut, şekil ve yapı açısından birbirine benzemektedir. Evlerin zeminleri ve duvarları en az üç kez sıvanmıştır. Evler iki veya üç odalıdır; odalar arasında geçişi sağlayan kapı açıklıkları bulunmaktadır. Dışa açılan kapı bulunmaması; evlere geçişin çatıdan sağlandığını düşündürmektedir.
İlk Kafatası Ameliyatı
Aksaray ilinin Kızılkaya köyünde bulunan Aşıklı Höyük’te, tıp tarihi açısından çok önemli ve bir ilk olan “trepanasyon” adı verilen beyin ameliyatının izleri, 20-25 yaşlarında bir kadının kafatasında bulunmuştur. Yapılan incelemeler sonucunda, kafatasında açılan deliğin cerrahi bir operasyon sonucu oluştuğu, kadının delik açıldığında hayatta olduğu ve operasyon sonrası yaklaşık bir hafta yaşadığı anlaşılmıştır.
