Göbekli Tepe was constructed in two stages: the oldest structures date to the Early Pre-Pottery Neolithic A period, ending around 9000 B.C., while the later, less elaborate Pre-Pottery Neolithic B remains date to about 8000 B.C.
Notes on verification
Corroborated by German Archaeological Institute research blog and archaeological literature summaries; consistent with mainstream dating chronology (PPNA to PPNB phases) for Göbekli Tepe.
