12,000-Year-Old Göbeklitepe Burials Explain Scattered Bones
Archaeologists studying Göbeklitepe, the 12,000-year-old ceremonial site in southeastern Turkey, report that newly identified burial practices may explain the hundreds of scattered human bones found there. Rather than evidence of violence or ritual defleshing, the dispersed remains are being linked to ancient funerary customs at the Neolithic complex, one of the world's oldest known temple sites.
Why now: New archaeological findings at Göbeklitepe offer a fresh explanation for a long-standing puzzle about scattered human remains at the famous Neolithic site.
