The Neolithic site of Catalhoeyuk in Turkey has been world famous
since the 1960s when excavations revealed the large size and dense
occupation of the settlement, as well as the spectacular wall
paintings and reliefs uncovered inside the houses. Since 1993 an
international team of archaeologists, led by Ian Hodder, has been
carrying out new excavations and research, in order to shed more
light on the people who inhabited the site. Catalhoeyuk Excavations
presents the results of the excavations that took place at the site
from 2000 to 2008 when the main aim was to understand the social
geography of the settlement, its layout and social organization.
Excavation, recording and sampling methodologies are discussed as
well as dating, 'levels', and the grouping of buildings into social
sectors. The excavations in three areas of the East Mound at
Catalhoeyuk are described: the South Area, the 4040 Area in the
northern part of the site, and the IST Area excavated by a team
from Istanbul University. The description of excavated units,
features and buildings incorporates results from the analyses of
animal bone, chipped stone, groundstone, shell, ceramics,
phytoliths, micromorphology. The integration of such data within
their context allows detailed accounts of the lives of the
inhabitants of Catalhoeyuk, their relationships and activities. The
integration of different types of data in the excavation account
mimics the process of collaborative interpretation that took place
during the excavation and post-excavation process.
