Göbeklitepe burials solve mystery of scattered bones
Original: 12,000-year-old Göbeklitepe burials explain scattered bones
New research at Göbeklitepe in Turkey, the 12,000-year-old Neolithic sanctuary, suggests deliberate burial practices explain the hundreds of scattered human bones previously found at the site. Archaeologists say the remains were not randomly dispersed but part of ritual funerary customs, reshaping understanding of how some of the world's earliest known communities treated their dead.
Why now: A new archaeological study offers an explanation for a long-standing puzzle at one of the world's most important prehistoric sites.
