The figures an the stone objects have been engraved or incised, mostly depicting undefined creatures differing from each other only in details, the only exception being the picture of a clearly recognizable wild goat. Two of the undefined figures have curled bodies reminiscent of insects, rendered in a fluent curve, horn- or antenna-like members, shown in a drooping manner, and heads, some looking right, some looiking left, all worked in relief. These figures that have foot-like members and concentric circles indicating the shoulders are quite ambiguos as far as the species ar e concerned because of their highly stylized workmanship. Generally worked in profile, one of these figures, shown from the front, is worked on a piece of chlorite, the body, though, is not curled. Apart from the figures of animals and fantastic creatures worked on different types of objects, the clothed human figure, only half of it remaining and again on a piece of chlorite, is among the unique finds of K\u00f6rtik Tepe. lt is clear that these figures briefly described above are unique to K\u00f6rtik Tepe, nothing even remotely resembling these has yet been reported from any other site.\r\nSmall horn-shaped objects are also a significant component of the K\u00f6rtik Tepe assemblage; even though similar objects occur at other Early and Late Pre-Pottery Neolithic sites of Anatolia and the Near East, revealing the relation of the sit with its contemporaries, those of K\u00f6rtik Tepe differ from the others in that they are decorated and are made from chlorite and not from the convetional limestone as in other sites. The decorations on these small horn shaped objects are mostly simple incised lines. One decorated with deep engraved grooves has its closest parallels in Hallan Cemi and Demirk\u00f6y.", "lithics_technology": [], "research_event": 40, "lithics_core_shape": [], "lithics_raw_material": [], "animal_remains_completeness": null, "lithics_retouched_tools": [], "botany_species": [], "area": 79, "obsidian": null, "confidence": "5", "small_finds_category": 3, "pottery_form": null, "public": true, "amount": null, "animal_remains_species": [], "small_finds_type": [84, 82, 83], "lithics_industry": [], "animal_remains_part": [], "reference": ["NR67U97D", "S6U4UW26"], "pottery_detail": []}, "model": "defcdb.finds"}]
