|Cilicia|, |Persian| |Empire,| |Tarsos,| |Cilicia,| |Tiribazos,| |Satrap| |of| |Lydia,| |386| |-| |380| |B.C.|, Excavation of the mound of Gözlükule reveals that the prehistorical development of Tarsus reaches back to the Neolithic Period and continues unbroken through Chalcolithic and Early Bronze Ages. The settlement was located at the crossing of several important trade routes, linking Anatolia to Syria and beyond. Because the ruins are covered by the modern city, archaeology has barely touched the ancient city.
