Preliminary analysis suggests that these were individuals who engaged in vigorous physical activity, as evidenced by bone marks that indicated they were subjected to heavy loads and moved a lot. Photo: @Buket Çağlayan.

In addition to more than 40 skeletons, experts also found thousands of burial objects. Photo: @Buket Çağlayan.

All told, they were coastal hunter-gatherers who had formerly inhabited the area.

The reasons behind the mysterious disappearance of this coastal civilization remain unclear. Photo: @Buket Çağlayan.
