T shaped limestone pillars emerge from the Pre-pottery Neolithic archaeological site of Sayburc village dating from 11,000 years, Sanliurfa Province, South East Turkey
The modern village of Sayburc has been emptied of inhabitants after the discovery by a local man of a carved petroglyph under his house, now demolished. Excavations are ongoing. Previously T shaped pillars were used by local people to build walls so some of the site has been disturbed but now evidence of dwellings dating from 11000 year have been unearthed. Seen here is a typical T pillar at the site as evidenced at Gobekli Tepe, with 'arms' carved into the long side.
