Sites

Karahan Tepe is an archaeological site in Şanlıurfa Province in Turkey. The site is close to Göbekli Tepe and archaeologists have also uncovered T-shaped stelae there. According to Daily Sabah, "The excavations have uncovered 250 obelisks featuring animal figures" as of 2020.

The site is located near Yağmurlu and roughly 46 kilometers east of Göbekli Tepe, which is often called its sister site. It is part of the Göbeklitepe Culture and Karahantepe Excavations project. The area is known as “Keçilitepe” by local people. It is part of a region of similar sites now being uncovered known as the Taş Tepeler.

Göbekli Tepe (Turkish: [ɟœbecˈli teˈpe], "Potbelly Hill"; known as Girê Mirazan or Xirabreşkê in Kurdish) is a Neolithic archaeological site in the Southeastern Anatolia Region of Turkey. Dated to the Pre-Pottery Neolithic, between c. 9500 and 8000 BCE, the site comprises a number of large circular structures supported by massive stone pillars – the world's oldest known megaliths. Many of these pillars are richly decorated with figurative anthropomorphic details, clothing, and reliefs of wild animals, providing archaeologists rare insights into prehistoric religion and the particular iconography of the period. The 15 m (50 ft)-high, 8 ha (20-acre) tell also includes many smaller buildings, quarries, and stone-cut cisterns from the Neolithic, as well as some traces of activity from later periods.

The site was first used at the dawn of the Southwest Asian Neolithic period, which marked the appearance of the oldest permanent human settlements anywhere in the world. Prehistorians link this Neolithic Revolution to the advent of agriculture, but disagree on whether farming caused people to settle down or vice versa. Göbekli Tepe, a monumental complex built on the top of a rocky mountaintop, with no clear evidence of agricultural cultivation produced to date, has played a prominent role in this debate. The site's original excavator, German archaeologist Klaus Schmidt, described it as the "world's first temple": a sanctuary used by groups of nomadic hunter-gatherers from a wide area, with few or no permanent inhabitants. Other archaeologists have challenged this interpretation, arguing that the evidence for a lack of agriculture and a resident population was far from conclusive. Recent research has also led the current excavators of Göbekli Tepe to revise or abandon many of the conclusions underpinning Schmidt's interpretation.

First noted in a survey in 1963, Schmidt recognised the site as prehistoric in 1994 and began excavations there the following year. After his death in 2014, work continued as a joint project of Istanbul University, Şanlıurfa Museum, and the German Archaeological Institute, under the overall direction of Turkish prehistorian Necmi Karul. Göbekli Tepe was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2018, recognising its outstanding universal value as "one of the first manifestations of human-made monumental architecture". As of 2021, less than 5% of the site had been excavated.

The Cueva del Boquete de Zafarraya is located on the southern slope of the Sierra de Alhama, at about 1100 meters of altitude, in the municipality of Alcaucín (Province of Malaga, Spain).

It is a medium-sized cavity whose entrance is located on a vertical pharallón. A few meters from the entrance the cavity is forked into two ducts: The first, to the left, has a vertical development; the right duct, a true gallery, has an archaeological sedimentation filling in a length of 16.30 meters.

The cave is proposed as a "Place of Spanish geological interest of international relevance" (Global Geosite) by the Geological and Mining Institute of Spain for its paleontological interest, with the name "VP009: Cueva del Boquete de Zafarraya", within the geological context "Places of vertebrates of the Spanish Pliocene-Pleistocene".

The site of the Reclau caves, is where we found the largest concentration of the prehistoric sites of Serinyà, is located on the western edge of the Usall plan. Located 5 km north of Banyoles. Its central core, where the caves are located, is about 200 m long by about 50 m wide.

The Usall plan is a slightly steep plain to the north, extending between the Fluvià River and the Banyoles Lake and comprising part of the municipality of Serinya, the northeastern parts of Porqueres, Banyoles and the western parts of Esponella and Fontcoberta. The plan is made up of a significant percentage of travertine, covered with clay.

The caves of the Reclave are formed by a travertinic talus, the western boundary of the Urall plan, along which are the various sites. All the prehistoric caves of the Reclau were built by the waterfall travertine. This travertine is a limestone formed by calcium carbonate deposited by the waters of the streams that form small falls. It grows rapidly on aquatic vegetation and forms layers that can cover spaces. The process of forming the travertine can occur at the same time as the dissolution of part of the already formed travertin, thus leading to conduits and cavitates.

The current form of the caves is very different from the original form. A lot of the roofs have fallen and when we visit them, we are not reminded of the idea of a cave. An effort must be made to imagine how they should be when the prehistoric man lived there. Only the Reclau Viver cave has preserved the original morphology of these caves and gives us an idea of how they should be before human occupation.
