This article discusses the discovery of bas-relief sculptures at the Göbekli Tepe site in Turkey, which depict animals and may have had religious significance in shamanistic rituals. It also explores the versatile uses of birch bark in prehistoric Eurasia, including its role in religious practices. The article suggests that the movement and trade of birch bark in prehistory, particularly in the steppe and Gobi regions of Mongolia, may have been associated with ritual deposits and cultural exchange. The findings of the Shiriin Chuluu Archaeological Project in southeastern Mongolia indicate the presence of birch bark artifacts in burial sites, suggesting exchange networks between different populations. These objects may have served as prestigious goods for elites in the Gobi region. Further research is needed to fully understand the meaning and significance of birch objects in steppe and desert cultures. [Extracted from the article] |
