Hungry architecture: spaces of consumption and predation at Göbekli Tepe

Göbekli Tepe's architecture reflects a relational, predatory worldview rooted in consumption and co-production. This study challenges Western ontological frameworks by integrating indigenous theories and anthropology to reinterpret the site's socio-cosmic dynamics. Through iconography, human and animal remains, and architectural analysis, it reveals that Pre-Pottery Neolithic societies engaged with material and non-human entities as agential forces, fundamentally shaping their social realities.
