view map

A notice indicates people of Körtik Tepe (10400-9250 BC indicated in the exhibition, Wikipedia has slightly different dates) were successful in processing and using bone items beside stone ones. Bone ones would be awls, pins, needles and fish hooks. There are engraved figures and decoration on the oval-shaped bone artifacts, which are found in a limit number in the graves of the notables. Wild goat, scorpion, snake figures and geometric patterns are depicted on the elaborately polished surfaces of the bones.
