I feel certain that the huge monument of Göbekli Tepe {@ 9500 BCE} was not built by hunter-gatherers over many centuries. Such a complex project based on specific myths, religious rituals, cooperative civilization(s) - supposedly without any writing - raises an ocean of questions that should be answered.
It is more logical to believe that there were shared divisions of necessary skills (religious authority, survey, design, stone gathering, stone carving, excavation {and subsequent burying}, food and water supplied ... supplied by specialists - on and on.)
Who conceptualized the pattern(s) and supervised their proper execution; who organized the whole extensive effort and supervised its successful fruition...?
Like the Clovis Barrier and its disciplines, Göbekli Tepe is ripe for evolving ideas of clarifying solutions. 🤷♂️
I wholeheartedly agree.
