Gobekli Tepe and Karahan Tepe are two of the twelve Tas Tepeler sites of SE Turkey and right now we know far more about these two compared to the other ten. Therefore, I for one am happy to see that archaeological resources are being spread out across the region.
Of all the 12, the most easterly site is Sefer Tepe, and that’s the site I’m reporting on today because some fantastic new discoveries have been made.
In this video, I'll first give you some background regarding this ancient 10,000 to 11,000-year-old Pre-Pottery Neolithic site, and then I'll tell you about the fantastic new discoveries from the 2024 excavation season.
