Ancient skulls, seals unearthed in south Turkey
Archeologists have unearthed two ancient skulls and two ancient seals in Turkey, the semi-official Anatolia news agency reports.
The two ancient skulls reportedly date from 1,500 BC and the ancient seals are 8,500-year-old.
Found in the Yumuktepe tumulus in south Turkey's Mersin province, the skulls belonged to the Hittite period and the seals dated back to the Neolithic period, Italian Prof. Isabella Caneva, head of the excavation team at the tumulus, told Anatolia.
The seals are rare and among the important findings unearthed in Turkey so far, Caneva was quoted as saying.
For the first time in 1936, systematic excavations for the Yumuktepe tumulus started under the supervision of British archeologist John Garstang and now are conducted by a team presided by Caneva since 1993, according to the agency.
An 8,000-year-old skeleton was also found in the Yumuktepe tumulus early in August. This year's excavation will be completed on Sept. 3.
