Why It Matters

It matters because it gives the public a different Taş Tepeler doorway: death practice, face imagery, small objects, and regional architecture rather than only famous circular structures.

What To Know

  • Sefertepe should be read as its own site before being compared outward.
  • Its skull-room evidence is important, but count layers and publication status need care.
  • Human faces, beads, and building forms make it a strong next-profile candidate.
