The ancient site of Boncuklu Tarla in Mardin, Turkey is re-writing history, and experts are now sure it’s older than Gobekli Tepe. Like many of the truly ancient sites in Turkey, this site was also buried beneath a mound and finds date from the Epipaleolithic period through to the Late pre-pottery Neolithic B. Incredibly, nearly 30 houses, 6 public structures as well as skeletons of 130 individuals have been found. Reports says that more than 100,000 beads as well as a temple that is older than Gobekli Tepe have also been uncovered. What sets this site apart from the other Tepe sites, which are generally located around the Harran plain to the west, is that it covers more phases of history – the late Epipalaeolithic, the Pre-Pottery Neolithic A and B, covering a real transitional phase of ancient history during and after the Younger Dryas.
