Reply to comment by Bentresh in A wall relief, comprising five figures carved on a bench in a communal building dating to the 9th millennium BC, was found in Sayburç, south-eastern Turkey, in 2021. It constitutes the earliest known depiction of a narrative ‘scene’ by -introuble2

Thank you!

"... in the form of narrative compositions or ‘scenes’ that feature clear figurative depictions of sets of figures in spatial proximity to each other..."

Though it isn't hard to understand what 'narrative scene' could mean, however, I can't always recognize it. In such and other examples, at least in my eyes it isn't always clear; i.e. when this should be considered one depiction of larger scale, or separated and independent somehow 'scenes', or in the end separated but connected [like 'panels'] 'telling a story'? Even if they were arranged horizontally
