IIRC there is evidence that Gobekli Tepe was not fully occupied year round, so more of a festival site or wintering ground. Maybe in the later stages it did have a more permanent population, and if so they could have been some of the first people to invent actual farming. This is around the time and place we think Einkorn was first domesticated, and a bunch of people growing it near a festival site to brew booze to supply a bunch of nomads when they come around to party makes a good narrative on how we transitioned from hunters to farmers.
