A Skull Cult At Göbekli Tepe?

Incisions discovered on three skulls at Göbekli Tepe appear to be evidence of a Neolithic skull cult. The cuts were made with stone tools, and are too deep to have been from the knawing of animals or a scalping by humans, though other small cut marks on the skulls suggest defleshing. So the incisions were probably ritualistic. Traces of red ochre on the skulls, implying they were decorated, support the skull-cult hypothesis.
