Yes, Hasanlu is in the Azarbaijan province in the northwest of Iran, you can read more about it here: http://www.penn.museum/research-near-east-section/295-hasanlu-project.html
Hasanlu Project
Hasanlu: often called the Pompeii of the Iron Age Near East, the destruction level at the site offers a unique picture of the life of a large settlement in this period.

This is really hard to believe a black skinned people lived in the Caucasus, of course I think there could be some connections between some mysterious ancient sites in the west of Urmia lake and Africa, one of them is the ancient site of Hasanlu in Naqadeh (the name of Naqadeh is also very similar to ancient Naqada in Egypt!), some ancient objects have been found in Hasanlu that archaeologists say they show a connection between this region and Africa, for example a large number of ivories have been found in Hasanlu, it is interesting to read this book: The catalogue of ivories from Hasanlu, Iran By Oscar White Muscarella. |

It's Hasanlı but lack of "ı" in Persian results it's replacement by "u".
About the name itself, if I came from a place called "Hasan", I would be a "Hasanlı", and there is no other meaning to the word.

What do you mean? I m not quite sure what you are trying to say.
"Lı" suffix are strictly Turkic-Altaic.

I know "Hasan" is a Turkish male name, with Arabic origin, meaning "handsome, "good looking".There is correspondent Bulgarian name - Asen, like the name of the Bulgarian tsar Ivan-Asen in 12th century. Now, the Bulgarians in this time used mostly biblical names, like "Ivan" came from the Greek "Ioan", whose English variation is "John"; so I was looking for possible Greek origin of Asen too. In Ancient Greek: ase/ασε/ - noun - anguish, distress - which doesn't sound like a good name-material, a name is a synbol that is supposed to have a magical meaning in improving the life of whoever carries it; so it has to be positive, not negative in meaning.
Another variation is that "Asen" may had come from the Greek "Jason", Greek writing -"Iason/Ιασων/"- this one with the Golden Fleece, which may had came from: Iaso /Ιασο/- goddess of healing and health; "iasis"=cure, remedy; or Azo/αζο/ - to stand in awe on front of the gods. There are more possible Greek words that could have started "Asen" but this would be a conversation for the origin of Languages thread. medenaywe, if you want we can carry this analysis there /"asker" in Arabic is "military" and really "li/liu" in Slavic languages is the root for the word "love" so I think you have a case/.
Anyway, since Azerbaijani speak a variation of Turkish, it's probable that it "Hasan" has it's meaning in Turkish, unless it's a borrowed Arabic word. I don't know how much Arabic there is in Turkish, and I lost my Turkish dictionary, so...I can't come up with other ideas here.

We were talking about "Lı" suffix mate, not the name Hasan.
For instance; Sən haralısan? - Where are you from?
Mən buralıyam - I m native of this place
"Hara" means where and "bura" means here. I m trying to show the usage of "Lı" suffix.

Were the skeletons at Hasanlu deliberately buried like that, or did they die in a natural disaster like an earthquake?

There are different theories, Hasanlu was certainly destroyed but probably not by an earthquake, as you read here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teppe_Hasanlu it is believed that this ancient city was destroyed by a sudden fire.
