Gürcütepe III Domestic And Craft Area

Gürcütepe's public value is settlement life: houses, hearths, middens, craft areas, figurines, food evidence, and the shift toward later village forms.

Site: Gürcütepe
What's actually there

Current records describe stone-founded buildings, rectangular houses, open spaces, hearths, middens, firing pits, atelier areas, figurines, bracelets, beads, vessels, axes, mortars, pestles, palettes, and animal remains.

What to notice

Later Neolithic settlement near Şanlıurfa and the Harran Plain edge. Architecture is more domestic and craft-oriented than monumental. Reported areas include houses, hearths, middens, firing pits, and ateliers. Human and animal figurines are important, but must be separated from faunal remains. Food and animal evidence includes sheep/goat, pig, cattle, gazelle, fox, deer, and fallow deer in current notes.
