Sefer Tepe
Sefer Tepe submitted by davidmorgan : A T-shaped pillar at Sefer Tepe. Photo source: Bahattin Çelik. (Vote or comment on this photo)
Ancient Settlement in Şanlıurfa Province, Turkey. One of the Neolithic sites of the Taş Tepeler (Stone Hills) project in south-east Turkey where T-shaped pillars can be found.

"The most intriguing aspect of the Sefer Tepe site are the 16 in-situ T-shaped pillars. Most of the pillars were buried and placed side-by-side in a conjugate formation at c. 1.5 up to 2m intervals. The upper sections above the surface are c. 50cm long and 20cm wide. The positioning of the pillars is very similar to the architecture at Göbekli Tepe Level II and the monolithic in-situ pillars on the surface at Karahan Tepe. Moreover, another pillar was revealed during the construction of the country house in the south-eastern corner of the site. This pillar was found intact; its length is 198cm and the width of the head section is 72cm, the width of the body section 54cm and the thickness 25cm. The head section of this undecorated stele is extremely flattened; it has features identical with the pillars discovered at Nevali Çori, Göbekli Tepe, Karahan Tepe, Hamzan Tepe and Taşlı Tepe."
