Thread by @odietrich_

As people keep asking on here and in my DMs: A (rather long) thread of free resources on Early Neolithic Göbekli Tepe for those interested. #Archaeology #GöbekliTepe

First and hot off the press is @lauradietrich_‘s open access monograph on tools for plant food processing from Göbekli Tepe. Interpretations of the builder’s subsistence had long centered on hunting. 10.000+ grinding tools change this considerably: archaeopress.com/ArchaeopressSh…

For those looking for a shorter summary on plant food at Göbekli Tepe there’s our 2019 paper in PlosOne: journals.plos.org/plosone/articl…

An interesting aspect of the site is evidence for feasting, probably including alcoholic beverages. Details can be found in our 2012 paper in Antiquity: cambridge.org/core/journals/…

Following the first chemical evidence presented in the above mentioned paper, we have then revisited the question of fermented and non-fermented cereal-based food at Göbekli Tepe from an experimental point of view in JAS: Reports sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Another paper focuses on the often richly decorated „greenstone“ vessels (of better vessel fragments) from Göbekli Tepe researchgate.net/publication/34…

An overview on radiocarbon dates for Göbekli Tepe can be found here: researchgate.net/publication/25…

Back in 2019 I published an overview on the anthropomorphic sculptures from Göbekli Tepe. The text is unfortunately not open access, but I have uploaded the corrected proofs here: researchgate.net/publication/33…

Regarding sculpture, there’s also this short summary of research into masks and masking at Göbekli Tepe asor.org/anetoday/2018/…

Regarding popular overviews on Göbekli Tepe, there is this piece we wrote for „Expedition“ some time ago penn.museum/sites/expediti…

I have arranged some of my own photos into a short tour of Göbekli Tepe: odietrich.medium.com/a-photographic…

For the exhibition at the Sanliurfa Museum there is this thread by @jens2go:

Between 2016 and 2019 we (me, @jens2go and @lauradietrich_ ) ran a research blog on Göbekli Tepe, which still contains a lot of information on many aspects of the site: tepetelegrams.wordpress.com

There’s much more on Göbekli Tepe of course and also a lot of the texts by Klaus Schmidt can be found for free somewhere on the internet. Google „Klaus Schmidt Göbekli Tepe“ and enjoy

A lot more on Göbekli Tepe can be found on my ResearchGate profile. No account needed to download researchgate.net/profile/Oliver…

I will add on this thread if something else comes to mind, but I guess that’s already (too) much for a start
