Jeitun is situated about 30 km north of Ashgabat on a sand dune in the Kara Kum Desert. Jeitun is one of the oldest archaeological sites in Turkmenistan. The settlement dates back to the 7th cent. BC and is considered as the first proof of agriculture in Central Asia. The excavations at Jeitun show that the Neolithic revolution in Central Asia took place almost simultaneously with similar developments in Western Asia. Jeitun was excavated from 1957 onwards by the Russian archaeologist V.M.Masson.
