Assembling Catalhoeyuk, like archaeological remains, can be read in
a number of ways. At one level the volume reports on the exciting
new discoveries and advances that are being made in the
understanding of the 9000 year-old Neolithic site of Catalhoeyuk.
The site has long been central to debates about early village
societies and the formation of 'mega-sites' in the Middle East. The
current long-term project has made many advances in our
understanding of the site that impact our wider understanding of
the Neolithic and its spread into Europe from the Middle East.
These advances concern use of the environment, climate change,
subsistence practices, social and economic organization, the role
of religion, ritual and symbolism. At another level, the volume
reports on methodological advances that have been made by team
members, including the development of reflexive methods, paperless
recording on site, the integrated use of 3D visualization, and
interactive archives. The long-term nature of the project allows
these various innovations to be evaluated and critiqued. In
particular, the volume includes analyses of the social networks
that underpin the assembling of data, and documents the complex
ways in which arguments are built within quickly transforming
alliances and allegiances within the team. In particular, the
volume explores how close inter-disciplinarity, and the assembling
of different forms of data from different sub-disciplines, allow
the weaving together of information into robust, distributed
arguments.
