Taş Tepeler

A stone structure with columns and an open doorway stands amidst a dry landscape under a clear sky, representing one of the archaeological sites known as Taş Tepeler in southeastern Anatolia, Turkey.

Turkish for "stone hills" — the name given to a network of at least a dozen Pre-Pottery Neolithic sites clustered around Şanlıurfa in southeastern Anatolia. Excavations at Karahan Tepe, Sayburç, Sefer Tepe and others, mostly begun after 2019, are revealing that Göbekli Tepe was not a lone temple in an empty landscape but one node in a substantial regional culture of monument-building foragers and early cultivators.
