One of the more bizarre experiences as an archaeologist is to meet old finds you once dug up in long and hot days at the excavation behind glass in an air-conditioned museum exhibition.

All of a sudden, they'd become something special, sacred things almost: an exhibit.

Just happened again at the current #BuildingCommunity exhibition about #Göbeklitepe and the other #TaşTepeler here in #Berlin.

The journal from 2015 even reveals which day this #ShaftStraightener came to light. It was a Wednesday. 😉

Photo of a journal page full with handwritten notes and a sketch of the same stone object as in the post above, this time from both sides. Additional notes about each ornament. Another here highlighted note reads (translated from German): But a special find in form of a beautiful shaft straightener right before end of work.
