“…The natural anthropomorphic aspect of some metapodia, like caprine or antelope, may have been the more obvious, but those of the horse, donkey, and cattle have also been the subject of human interest due to their overall morphologies. The same is true for equid phalanges transformed into Neolithic figurines in Syria (Christidou et al 2009) and in Copper Age figurines in Kazakhstan (Olsen and Harding 2008). In those latter examples, just like metacarpals and metatarsals of sheep and goats, they were used untouched or modified only slightly to accentuate their human features.…”

“…Anthropomorphic flint figurines have also been documented among Late Neolithic (third and early second millennia BC) hunter-gatherers of the European Russian forest zone (Kashina 2002). This is, however, the first identification of putative human 'figurines' made of flint in the Neolithic Near East, which has previously yielded figurines made of baked clay, stone or bone (Rollefson 2008;Christidou et al 2009).…”

“…Moreover, these sites yielded comparatively a lower number of hallmark artifacts to Körtiktepe. The excavations at some PPN sites of the Euphrates Basin such as Göbeklitepe (9745 cal BC), Jerf-el-Ahmar (9500 cal BC), Dja'de el Mughara (9310 cal BC), Tell Abu Hureyra (c. 9100 BC), and Nevalı Çori (8720 cal BC) also yielded Körtiktepe type symbolic assemblages (Moore et al, 1975;Christidou et al, 2009;Hauptmann, 2011;Dietrich et al, 2012;Schmidt, 2012;Stordeur, 2015), but they too did not present as richer hallmark artifacts as the ones recorded from Körtiktepe.…”
