Most archeologists thought there was nothing in the empty area west of Istanbul. However, the first person to perform an extensive dig has found an area inhabited - perhaps continuously - from 800,000 BC (yes, that's eight hundred thousand years) until an earthquake in the 18 Century AD. 

There's a two-page segment on the area in the November issue of Discover

The work there is known as the Bathonea excavations.
