About 10,000 years ago, a group of hunter-gatherers settled on a floodplain in modern-day Turkey and stayed for a millennium. You can still see remnants of the houses they built. Archaeologists have mapped out alleyways and uncovered intact skeletons under ancient plaster floors. After all this time, AÅ??kl? Höyük is remarkably well preserved.
But Jordan Abell did not come for these sights when he last visited AÅ??kl? Höyük in 2017. He came to look for something invisible: ancient urine.
