Photography certainly is an important tool for documentation in archaeology<\/a>. For me personally, it is also a hobby (you can find me on Flickr here: external link<\/a>). Going through the loads of photos the digital age produces and often readily forgets, I found some images of G\u00f6bekli Tepe that I wanted to share here. The collection is not finished and the post will be expanded as I dig deeper into my archives. So come back for more if you like what you see!<\/p>\n

G\u00f6bekli Tepe is situated at the northern periphery of the fertile crescent, on the highest point of the Germu\u015f mountain range overlooking the Harran plain. The site lies on an otherwise barren limestone plateau.The tell has a diameter of around 300 m and is characterized by several mounds divided by depressions. At the highest point, G\u00f6bekli Tepe has about 15\u00a0 m of stratigraphy. This is a view of the tell from the south, with the excavation camp. Taken in 2007, during my first field season at the site with the late Klaus Schmidt<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\t\t
