Dating to a time of early sedentary communities and coinciding with the very beginnings of processes that culminate in the domestication of plants and animals, the G\u00f6bekli Tepe site is well known for its impressive megalithic architecture. This takes the form of large circular monumental enclosures, also comprising impressive T-shaped pillars. These pillars carry characteristic<br \/>\nanthropomorphic features in low-relief, such as hands, arms, and items of clothing. In addition to these larger-than-life monolithic figures, the site has also produced various other forms of anthropomorphic representations. These include depictions of humans carved onto the surfaces of the T-pillars themselves, limestone sculptures and figurines, and engravings on stone plaquettes.<br \/>\nIn this paper, we focus on different expressions of anthropomorphic depiction at the site, and propose that the observable variety could correlate with diverging levels of symbolic meaning, providing unparalleled insights into human worldview at this important transition in human history.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Hope to see you there!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The 10th International Congress on the Archaeology of the Ancient Near East (ICAANE &#8211; external link) will be held between 25\u201229 April, 2016, in Vienna.
