This Neolithic site is one to see! When arriving at the enormous tent I couldn’t believe that there was a site under it. This site was said to have been inhabited as early as 7560 BC due to radiocarbon dates that had been extracted from the site. Along with dating, the excavations have produced bone tools, obsidian blades, stone cookware, and remains of its previous inhabitants. Each of the structures of the settlement are numbered which I found to be peculiar. However, from what I gathered, is a way for people to identify where artifacts were found. For example, in structure #9 there were remains that had been excavated. There were 5 sets of remains that were found here in pits close to the housing structure. In total, there were 14 burials of human remains but contained at minimum 18 different humans. I found this to be the best part of this site because it shows how close they kept their loved ones to their home. I’m curious about how the kinship worked in having them buried below the floors and why there were shallow pits as well. While there are other Neolithic sites on the island this one has a great wall painting in one of the structures. It’s believed to be two humans with their arms raised and painted in red. The art is very neat to see how ancient civilizations interpreted how they looked or if this was something else, they were recreating. Tenta still has mysteries about the tenants who occupied this site which makes this site worth a view when visiting!!
