12,000-year-old Göbeklitepe burials explain scattered bones
New research at Göbeklitepe, the 12,000-year-old temple site in southeastern Turkey, suggests burial practices explain the hundreds of scattered human bones previously found there. Archaeologists say the remains were likely not the result of violence or ritual defleshing, as earlier theories proposed, but part of deliberate ancient burial customs that disturbed and dispersed skeletal material over millennia.
Why now: New archaeological findings revise long-standing theories about mysterious scattered human bones at one of the world's oldest known temple sites.
