Analysing Göbeklitepe within the Framework of Space Periodization

 

Throughout history, space has been evaluated, explained and understood from many perspectives by philosophers. In this study, Göbekli Tepe, which is located in Şanlıurfa province, which is one of the most striking discoveries of recent years and accepted as a place belonging to the Neolithic period, has been tried to be evaluated within the framework of some of the arguments of Henri Lefebvre, whose name is frequently referred to by the place. The reason for choosing Göbekli Tepe and Henri Lefebvre as the subject of the study; based on Lefebvre's spatial studies, Roland Boer prepared the table "production style and space" in the book "Marxist Criticism of the Hebrew Bible". The table has emerged with the order of production styles and Lefebvre's places - absolute, sacred, historical, abstract, contradictory and differential - periodically. In the study, the effect of Göbekli Tepe on the absolute and sacred space order in Boer's table has been evaluated.
