Neolithic Anatolia Regional grouping, not a claim that every site or carving belongs to one homogeneous culture.
Registered dated episodes: 10,000 BCE to 8,001 BCE.
Pillar 43 10th–9th millennia BCE · site context Line 01 · Research lead
Another bird and rounded form The Australian painting in Fenton’s proposed connection.
Arnhem Land painting · panel unknown Arnhem Land, as attributed↔ Pillar 43 Göbekli TepeWhat appears to correspond
The claim image places a bird-like figure near a rounded form. What differs or remains uncertain
The exact panel and source photograph are unresolved. Different paint marks could change the interpretation of contact, holding or adjacency. Transmission check
Transmission not yet assessed The comparison is not yet identified or dated well enough to exclude ordinary transmission, later borrowing or an image-selection effect.

What would move this cluster forward? Collected comparisons accumulate; they do not compound into proof. Each line still needs its own dated sequence.
Trace the panel through Aboriginal custodians’ and specialist records. Establish permissible documentation, attribution and a panel-specific chronology. Follow the evidence
Sources & scope Provisional editorial records with no independent specialist sign-off. Review stages describe how far sources were checked, not the probability of a historical connection.
claim · Bruce Fenton The project retains the supplied thread with known gaps, images and later source checks.
excavation · Oliver Dietrich / DAI Excavation-team discussion of the depicted animals and competing readings of the disc and upper forms.
project · Deep Memory Preserves captions, uncertainties and supplied images. A social caption is not an independent archaeological identification.
