Short abstract:
\nIn this lecture, we return to the much debated question surrounding the existence of an invisible (?) social elite at G\u00f6bekli Tepe. If such an elite did exist, who were they, what was the source of their influence, and why were the special buildings so crucial to their success? In this context, the new discoveries from recent fieldwork (2021-2023) will be presented.<\/p>\n
