One more #MerryChristmas #SundayArchaeology, this time in a #SketchbookSunday combo:

The Late #Magdalenian (11,000 BCE) "Swimming (or flying? 😉) #Reindeer" from Montastruc (France), carved from mammoth ivory. Evocative.

#SketchbookSunday, from the archaeologist's field sketchbook:

A busy day on site. Main excavation area at #GobekliTepe, view from "Wish Tree" southwest.

Or yeah, maybe we're just overinterpreting. 🤷‍♂️😜 https://t.co/gu85oOTXnz

The #Sayburc image finds further parallels in the region's archaeological record:

The Urfa-Yeni Mahalle sculpture (a.k.a. #UrfaMan) for instance seems to wear similar clothing or a "collar" of sorts. And the cavity in his crotch area could well have fitted a separate phallus.

@PrehiStorytellr It's an older photo though, to be honest (2018-ish?). Silex was probably somewhere around the Tepe, looking for trouble. 😉

Congratulations and: afiyet olsun! ☕️ https://t.co/Vv5hgJDMED
