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. The present volume
discusses general themes that have emerged in the analysis and
interpretation of the results of excavations in 2000-2008. It
synthesizes the results of research described in other volumes in
the same series. The volume commences with accounts of the recent
work on community collaboration at the site, and with discussions
of the methods used at the site. It then synthesizes the work on
landscape use and mobility, integrating the work of subsistence
analysis and the analysis of human remains. The storage and sharing
of food is a related topic. The ways in which houses were
constructed, lived in and abandoned leads to a broad discussion of
settlement and social organization at Catalhoeyuk and of their
change through time. For example, shifts in the themes that occur
in paintings in houses change through time as part of a wider set
of social, economic and ritual changes in the upper levels. The
social uses of materials and technologies are explored and the
roles of materials in personal adornment. Finally, the discussion
of variation through place and time is recognized as dependent on
scales of analysis and social process.
