Space is an abstract concept, difficult to represent and difficult to identify in the visual productions of prehistoric populations. Despite these limitations, iconography sometimes allows the inference of spatial knowledge from graphic representations, when one can identify a coherent network of meanings linking different images. One such example is the iconography of the PPN architecture from Gobekli Tepe, in particular that of Enclosure D. The structural architectural elements were decorated either with complex scenes featuring various species of animals, or only with solitary animals whose position and relationships could offer information on the perception of the PPN environment.
