Part One: Text Part Two: Catalog and Plates This set of two volumes
presents the final report of the four archaeological campaigns
carried out by the Oriental Institute at the site of Chatal Hoyuk
in the Amuq (currently Hatay, Turkey) under the directorship of Ian
McEwan and Robert Braidwood, more than eighty years after their
field operations. The excavation's documents (daily journals,
original drawings, photos, lists of objects, and letters) stored in
the Oriental Institute Archives, as well as the approximately
13,000 small finds and pottery sherds from the site currently kept
at the Oriental Institute Museum, provided the necessary dataset
for the analysis presented here. This dataset allowed the author to
reconstruct the life of a village which survived the political
turmoil in the period from the Late Bronze Age to the end of the
Iron Age (16th-6th centuries bc). If Chatal Hoyuk was during the
Late Bronze Age a village in the provincial part of a large empire
(Hittite), it became a large independent town in a small but
powerful new political entity (Walistin) during the Iron Age I and
II, before being conquered by the Assyrian Empire. In this extended
publication of small finds and pottery, many previously unpublished
materials are made available to both general readers and scholars
for the first time. The material culture discussed and analyzed
here offers the chance to trace changes and continuity in the
site's domestic activities, to point out shifts in cultural
contacts over a long period of time, and to monitor the
construction of a new community identity. 198 plates, 125 figures,
7 tables
