Collation of satellite imagery and new fieldwork in Şanlıurfa (south-east Türkiye) has revealed large numbers of stone-walled desert kites, some of which may date to the Pre-Pottery Neolithic (c. 9500-7000 BC). The authors briefly explore the potential role of these structures in the processes of early sedentism and monumentality
