Digging and protecting the hill

Digging the hill, recording what comes out, and keeping the exposed stone safe.

Excavating Göbekli Tepe is slow, documented work. Archaeologists record each structure, object, and context as they go, then conserve the exposed limestone so it survives once uncovered.
