In recent years, it has been observed that the number of settlements in North Mesopotamia, including the Southeastern Anatolia Region, has increased after the studies to examine the symbolic and ritual concepts of Pre-Pottery Neolithic Period. And it is seen that new data were obtained on the art of depiction of this period. Although the finds are interpreted mostly through the socio-cultural proposals around the concept of symbolism, it is seen that the region exhibits some cultural differences in itself during the Pre-Pottery Neolithic Period. In the Neolithic process of the Near East, especially in the symbolic and iconographic contexts, there are many publications and research on human figurines/sculptures, animal figurines/sculptures, figured stone objects, stone vases, wall decorations (painting, embossing or scraping), and stone pillars. Although the bone plaques, which have been produced together with the transition to settled life (PPNA), are more in the background, these findings are of special importance due to their visual characteristics and regional diversity. A group of bone plaques found in the excavations carried out in 2012 and 2017 at the site of the Boncuklu Tarla lead to a new discussion and new information on the production of such objects in the context of both typological and technological aspects.
