Systematic archaeological research has been going on for the last decade. Excavations at the site revealed a detailed settlement plan. Based on the site's layout, it is possible to calculate the approximate population of the settlement. Combined with palaeoenvironmental and palaeo-climate research conducted at the site, we now have a comprehensive dataset about its immediate region. This paper will deliver the results of agent-based modeling experiments at Hacılar. Using this diverse set of data for human behavior and past environmental conditions, agent-based modeling has been applied to simulate how dry farming and ovicaprid-based, site-tethered pastoralism affected the immediate landscape around the site. The use of agent-based modeling at this single-period settlement also informs us about the patterns of socio-economic and demographic changes in the long term. The results of the modeling experiments allow us to understand the processes of socio-political and environmental processes in greater detail.

Situated almost 8 km southeast of modern Konya, the site is at the crossroads from Syro-Mesopotamia to the Aegean (Alp, 1994). The archaeological material collection collected from the site dates to the 3rd-2nd millennia BC and displays Anatolian, Syrian, and Aegean influences confirming it as a dynamic hub of the Bronze Age.
The mound of Konya-Karahöyük covers an area of 33 ha. With its lower town, which is heavily filled with alluvial deposits, the site spans almost 100 ha. Previous excavations at the site (from 1953 to 1994 with breaks) yielded remains of monumental architecture, yet, there is a lack of a systematic understanding of the architectural patterns. Excavations reinitiated at the site in 2022 aim to expose architectural remains of the upper and lower towns as well as to investigate the expansion of the site via using interdisciplinary methodologies.
