What you're looking at
BF is strong enough for a guided profile section. The cleanest reported counts are three small animal figurines, three stone rings, and one smaller vessel inside one larger vessel. Most animal-remain claims are still plural/reporting-grade and need formal zooarchaeological publication.

Research layer Karahan notes
- Use reported wording where exact loci, phase, 2025 details, or object metadata remain open.
- Do not turn architecture, channels, sculpture, or fill evidence into one settled ritual function.
- Use BF as a reported discovery hub. Do not treat the current evidence as a complete formal excavation catalog.

- Formal excavation source for BF plan, dimensions, loci, and object catalog
- Zooarchaeological table for NISP/MNI, skeletal elements, taphonomy, and burning
- Image/figure rights records for BF structure, nested vessel scene, and animal figurines
- Move to AO formal-source handcheck next, because AO is the next animal-and-room claim risk: donkey-floor reporting, domestic features, vessels, hearths, and structure context need the same clean source split.
- Detailed evidence notes remain available for deeper review.
