Plant Food Processing Tools at Early Neolithic Goebekli Tepe
reconstructs plant food processing at this key Pre-Pottery
Neolithic (9600-8000 BC) site, with an emphasis on cereals, legumes
and herbs as food sources, on grinding and pounding tools for their
processing, and on the vessels implied in the consumption of meals
and beverages. Functional investigations on grinding and pounding
tools and on stone containers through use-wear and residue analyses
are at the core of the book. Their corpus amounts to more than 7000
objects, constituting thus the largest collection published so far
from the Neolithic of Upper Mesopotamia. The spectrum of tools and
of processed plants is very broad, but porridges made of cereals,
legumes and herbs, and beers predominate over bread-like food. The
find contexts show that cooking took place around the well-known
monumental buildings, while the large quantity of tools suggests
feasting in addition to daily meals.
