The new excavation season in Southeastern Anatolia is well underway, with work continuing at ten Taş Tepeler sites, including Göbekli Tepe and its sister site, Karahan Tepe, both of which have origins dating back to 11 and a half thousand years ago.
As I showed in my last video, we’ve already heard from archaeologist Dr Lee Clare about the work that’s taking place at Göbekli Tepe in 2024, and now there is news coming out of Karahan Tepe. Watch the video here: https://youtu.be/HJpEEypdPpk?si=-NzGQC4j2gczuK68
This year, archaeologists are working on the structures that surround the main heart of the site, that being the communal, special purpose Building, AD. It’s in this building where archaeologists came across a beautiful and rare carving of a running, wild donkey.
Watch this video to learn more about the find, and to hear about what’s going on at Karahan Tepe this year.
