So well done as always. I would love to go to Turkey one day and see all these amazing sites. Things just keep getting older and older. Love your channel!! 👏👏👏
Well i'm not really surprised, it's known that turkey is a very old settlement area, people have been living in the area for a very long time. Why not, Turkey is a very beautiful country, the country offers everything a person needs, I think in the past as well as today, the country has always been a bridge between Europe and Asia
Ancient Architects propriétaire estimable et fiable, Matt the Muhendes of ancient Anatolian mysteries, has once again brought us news of another amazing find. This find provides more substantial evidence of other finds suggesting early use of coloring, drainage, whitewashing, and of what appears to be, related to obsidian and associated tools, specialization and specific production sites, if not production lines! Our ancestors were not the dumb brutes that many have assumed them to be. Thanks again, Matt, for providing your trademark explanation with appropriate charts, maps and photographs. Best wishes, from a fan!
Just looking at that whole area gives me the impression that there are a couple more settlements awaiting discovery, it does seem to be a couple of tepees surrounding the area of this discovery, Turkey has been an archeologists dream!😉
Im hoping to visit Türkiye in the next couple of years. I've added this site to my list of archaeological sites. I want to visit Göbekli Tepe and/or Catalhöyük at the very least. Or maybe Boncuklu Tarla.
Anybody else noticing that the more we look the more we find? Me thinks there was more going on a few thousand years ago than merely hard scrabble existence and the like. Far more.

Is the source of the obsidian known as being local or did they trade for it from elsewhere? I'm assuming it was in the vicinity and that's why they set up shop right here. Great find!
To me, it seems reasonable that the sites at Gobleki Tepe may have been built into the side of the hill like some "underground" houses are constructed in modern times. This makes it predictable that the burying looks intentional. Best Regards, Darling
It's the same as Arabic "tell", Greek "magoula", etc. In archaeology it refers to artificial hills or mounds produced by building mudbrick homes atop of older ruined ones.
AFAIK, it's more like knapping glass, which can be done. However the sharp cutting edge of obsidian is unique, even better than modern industrially produced scalpels (some surgeons prefer obsidian because its edge is so truly mono-molecular that it doesn't cause pain if used properly, even in nerve-severing surgery).
@@TimmiTification - The knapping part I'm only somewhat certain, refer to knapping channels here at YT for more data. But the monomolecular edge (self-sharpening even, I believe) is a well-known issue among prehistorians and surgeons, you can search for more info online, as I've done on occasion myself.
does obsidian have a signature structure that is reflective of the area it came from or was mined ? such as atomic structure and composition, is obsidian found in the Americas differ from obsidian from Turkish areas ?
They do, there is some great research papers mapping a stone age trading network of Obsidian that was traded all along the fertile crescent and even into the aegean, early obsidian trade in that region really was dominated by just a few sites.
I have a question...did they bury the bodies like super duper asap??? Cuz I'm pretty sure rigor mortis wouldn't allow for folding a body into the fetal position to easily with rigor set in... just a thought
So was Anatolia a fallback survival position for at least a couple of thousand years people running from Siberia from Ireland from Central Europe from Asia
looks a bit like a mudflood area with a lot of water channels, as why would anyone leave their tools behind when a city becomes unused obsidian tools would not be cheap
No. To begin with there was no "Turkey" back then. To continue, it was a very peripheral area in the wider Fertile Crescent. To follow up, there were other centers of agriculture and civilization, notably in China (but also independently in the Americas, etc., even Papua and Aboriginal Australia had their own kind of independently developed Neolithic). To add: these people probably spoke proto-Vasconic and went on to settle much of Europe... but not other regions, India continent was settled by Elamo-Dravidians, who followed a similar chronology but at another end of the Fertile Crescent: in Southern Iran, for instance. As for Egypt a thousands times no: Egyptian language (now Coptic) is an Afroasiatic language (i.e. related to Semitic, Berber, Cushite, etc.), which is almost certainly original from Africa (only Semitic is Asian in that family). Egypt surely had strong interaction with Palestine but not so much with Anatolia, which is only clearly influential in Europe.
As far as I know of, there's no direct way. However as AA points out often they can date something within the context that the obsidian tool is found. This is why archaeologists and anthropologists will often tell you it's the context that an item is found that's more important than the actual item itself. The surrounding area may reveal others factors such as climate conditions and food sources of the site.
So exciting! The people of 9,000 years ago probably weren't much different from us in many ways. I wonder how the small buried children died? Perhaps disease or accident

Rigor mortis only lasts 1-4 days after death.

Obsidian would have seemed like a gift from the gods. Any evidence of ritual worship at the site ?
So was Anatolia a fallback survival position for at least a couple of thousand years people running from Siberia from Ireland from Central Europe from Asia
I’m Still perplexed by the buried bodies at a knapery. The children most of all.
looks a bit like a mudflood area with a lot of water channels, as why would anyone leave their tools behind when a city becomes unused obsidian tools would not be cheap
It is more and more clear that South Anatolia was the region where civilisation got a first real boost following the end or the Younger Dryas.
Seems like there should be a lot more digging taking place in Turkey!
Early Turkish factory? I have a dishwasher made in Turkey so they are still busy. Cheers
Great video - thanks! It's sad that the land has become so arid and unproductive. Is that from overuse, climate change, both, something else?
Commented before that Turkey is the true start of human civilization. They may have been the progenitors of early Egyptian civilization.
No. To begin with there was no "Turkey" back then. To continue, it was a very peripheral area in the wider Fertile Crescent.

How would one date obsidian?
Here is a good article explaining your question.
Take her out to a nice restaurant, take in a movie, that sort of thing...
Well, as I say, they date the bone tolls found along side them, as well as the human remains to get a good gauge.

NEWS: *DREAM STEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELA*
nice but)
But how do archeologists determine gender?!
DNA and shape/size of the bones.
It's almost like gender and sex are related.. crazy stuff.
They determine sex via the shape of the bones, which often show sexual dimorphism (notably the hips and the skull).
DNA test can also say a lot, you know XX or XY. But guess this site is too recent a discovery for that to be available yet.
why do you end your sentences in such a weird way?
