Methods
Human bone fragments recovered from the backfill of the round-oval monumental buildings are generally quite well preserved; however, one particular problem is a thick layer of sinter often found adhering to the bone surfaces. The examination of bone material from Göbekli Tepe has been undertaken using special high resolution microscopes. Age and sex estimations as well as paleopathological investigations were carried out using standard anthropological methods. Additional information relating to taphonomic and paleopathological processes has been obtained using plain radiography, scanning electron microscopy, digital microscopy and histology (DAI).
