Structure Guide

Special Building 15

Special Building 15 is the strongest public structure anchor at Çakmaktepe. It is linked with a 2025 exterior deposit of more than 30 burnt gazelle skulls and five wild sheep heads.

Circular Special / Communal Building

The circular special or communal building is a major Çakmaktepe public-building anchor: a roughly 16 m single-room circular building with a bedrock-cut floor and controlled filling.

Southern Excavation Area Domestic Structures

The Southern Excavation Area keeps Çakmaktepe from becoming only an animal-head story. It shows planned domestic settlement, house-building, floor preparation, renovation, and daily work.

Mortars And Food-Work Evidence

Çakmaktepe's mortars and food-work evidence show that the site was not only a place of dramatic deposits. It was also a settlement where grinding, processing, and daily work mattered.

Earlier Interior Animal-Head Context

This reported earlier Çakmaktepe context keeps the animal-head evidence separated: burnt wild cattle, sheep, and equid heads were reported inside a special building along wall bases, unlike the later exterior gazelle deposit outside Special Building 15.
