Jeitun (Djeitun) is an archaeological site of the Neolithic period in southern Turkmenistan, about 30 kilometers north of Ashgabat in the Kopet-Dag mountain range. The settlement was occupied from about 7200 to 4500 BC [1] possibly with short interruptions.[2] Jeitun has given its name to the whole Neolithic period in the foothills of the Kopet Dag.
