Evidence Map
- Domestic structure evidence keeps Çakmaktepe grounded in buildings, plaster floor surfaces, hearth areas, and repeated use rather than only headline finds.
- The mortars and food-work lane should be read through bedrock mortar, vessel, grinding, processing, channel, floor, and activity-area evidence.
- Special Building 15 belongs in the structure lane first, with animal-head deposit, skull, gazelle, wild sheep, burning, placement, and exterior context separated after that.
- The Southern Excavation Area helps users compare domestic building, planned settlement, food work, special building, and deposit evidence on one site.
- Chronology pages should compare Neolithic phase, structure context, object context, and publication status before comparing Çakmaktepe with Göbekli Tepe.
- The best public reading keeps T-shaped pillar, relief, bench, skull, mortar, hearth, plaster, channel, vessel, and burial terms connected to actual pages when the evidence exists.
Deeper Context
- Read Çakmaktepe through four evidence lanes: domestic structures, food-work installations, special buildings, and animal-head deposits.
- The Southern Excavation Area keeps planned settlement, house-building, floors, renovation, and daily work in view.
- The mortars and food-work evidence make processing, repeated activity, and early settled life visible without needing one dramatic interpretation.
- Special Building 15 and the animal-head deposit pages belong beside the domestic and mortar evidence, not above it.
- The strongest Çakmaktepe pages keep structure, object, species, burning, phase, image rights, and interpretation separated.
- What remains open should stay visible: exact dates, detailed plans, object loci, residue evidence, species tables, and public image rights can all change the best answer.
