Unique T-Shaped Pillar Decoration at Kurt Tepesi: An 11,000-Year-Old Site | Ancient Architects

After looking at Karahan Tepe, Harbetsuvan Tepesi and Sefer Tepe in recent videos, I next decided to take a look at Kurt Tepe, whose site of interest is actually known as Kurt Tepesi, another of the twelve Tas Tepeler sites being excavated or due to be excavated across Turkey. This site is located on a hill that dominates the Coban Creek Pass, a small mound on a ridge formed by high limestone plateaus. The western half of the site has been subject to illegal excavations. The north end of the mound even has a large electricity pylon installed into it, making this a less than ideal site for archaeological work. As far as we know, some exploratory work has been done with T-shaped pillars and flints discovered going back to 11,000 years ago. One T-shaped pillar is also unique in its decoration.
