The Quaternary geology and geomorphology methodologies I was accustomed to typically involved external observation and non-analytical features. However, many of the studies conducted on Göbeklitepe and the “Pre-Pottery Neolithic Period” sites around Şanlıurfa, now referred to as Taş Tepeler (Stone Hills)**, included quantitative methods such as dating and pollen analysis.
