Göbekli Tepe Official Archaeological Update

Over the past few years things have been developing quickly with regards to Turkish archaeology, and one project really stands out - Taş Tepeler, which as you probably know by now, is an upland area in the Southeastern Anatolia Region of Turkey, near the city of Şanlıurfa.

Translated to English, Taş Tepeler means ‘Stone Hills’ and it consists of a number of Pre-Pottery Neolithic sites, including Karahan Tepe, Sefer Tepe, Harbetsuvan Tepesi, and of course the famous UNESCO World Heritage site of Göbekli Tepe.


In this video I’ll be showing you the latest update on the site – all the new finds and all the news from the latest excavations – presented by Dr Lee Clare of the German Archaeological Institute.


Dr Clare recently took part in a 4-and-a-half-hour presentation on the Arkeolojihaber YouTube channel, where a number of archaeologists discussed the latest findings and most recent work at 7 of the 12 Tas Tepeler sites.


What I'm presenting in this video comes directly from this presentation, which I have been given permission to publish.
