Overview of the busy excavations at early Neolithic Göbekli Tepe (Turkey); view into the so-called main excavation area towards west.

Visual notes: Foxes depicted at early Neolithic Göbekli Tepe are shown in a very specific posture: They seem to be leaping – as foxes typically do when hunting.

Visual notes: Otherwise very naturalistic crane depictions from early Neolithic Göbekli Tepe show an unusual leg anatomy – could they hint at some kind of ‘crane masquerade’ in the frame of rituals?

Visual notes: Among the many animals depicted at early Neolithic Göbekli Tepe, aurochs take up a special role – as full representations as well reduced to the symbol of their horned heads.

Visual notes: Göbekli Tepe’s animal depictions cover a wide range of different species. Interestingly they are shown as the early Neolithic hunters would have experienced them in their natural environment: larger mammals in side view, smaller like insects from above.
