Official and internal records connect Çakmaktepe with bedrock conical pits interpreted as mortars, grinding/processing tools, domestic areas, and the broader transition from hunting and gathering toward settled food work.
What to notice
Conical holes of different sizes and depths are carved into bedrock. Official reporting interprets these pits as mortars. Mortars are important for understanding food-processing activity. The evidence should be studied beside domestic buildings and special/public buildings. Individual mortar counts, dimensions, use-wear, and residue data still need stronger publication control.
