Taş Tepeler/Stone Hills • Göbeklitepe • 12,000 years ago • TAŞ TEPELER Project involves archaeological excavations and research carried out in seven areas: Göbeklitepe, Karahantepe, Gürcütepe, Sayburç, Çakmaktepe, Sefertepe and the Yeni Mahalle mound. • Taş Tepeler is a crucially important region that proves us the existence of other areas, similar and contemporary to Göbeklitepe. For now, we can say that these places are set on high hills and ideally located for hunting. Covers found at immediate surroundings of these locations support this view. However, What we know is minimal compared to what we will learn. There is still a lot to discover in this wondrous land! • Covering an area of 200 km from one end to the other, Taş Tepeler is an Anatolian and Upper Mesopotamian region which hosted the earliest settled communities. With a twelve- thousand-year-old history, the region was the stage of an important transformation in world history – the transformation that took us from hunter-gatherer lifeways to the first sedentism, new dietary habits and a new way of life during Neolithic era. • WITNESSES OF HISTORY • Göbeklitepe’s history traces to 9600 BCE and reflects an uninterrupted period of 1500 years. • As far as we know, Taş Tepeler region is the first example of sedentism and social union on Earth. • 12,000 years ago, this period of transformation where shelters become houses and real villages appear. • In Taş Tepeler, human beings experimented examples of organized labour and specialisation the first time. • It is believed monumental megalithic structures were communal spaces where people gathered. • Sedentism engendered new methods for food purveyance and storage. Human beings developed skills to store and supply stored food in the region. • During the later stages of the period, new eating habits caused the production of terracotta bowls, and dishes cooked in sauce became a new element of nutrition. For the very first time, humans were able to use utensils and conduct basic trade. • • • #Taştepeler • #tastepeler • #stonehills • #Şanlıurfa • #Turkey • #Göbeklitepe • #Karahantepe • #Kurttepe • #ancient • #Neolithic • #archaeology
