  • Summary

    This chapter locates the book within the last two decades of conferences on the Anatolian Neolithic and early farming in general, and its important role for Southwestern Asian and European Prehistory. It further outlines several key themes addressed by all individual chapters. These are the general chronological framework based on radiocarbon dating vs. the divergent culture historical phasing; the process of Neolithization as the spread of the Neolithic out of its core area of domestication of animals and plants in the Fertile Crescent; cooking and food habits as new ways of not only making, but also serving, displaying, consuming and storing food and drink; the role of climate and subsequent environmental change between ca. 6600 and 6000 cal BC. Finally, the chapter summarizes the individual contributions along the structure of the book.

  • This is the first book to present a comprehensive, up to date overview of archaeological and environmental data from the eastern Mediterranean world around 6000 BC. It brings together the research of an international team of scholars who have excavated at key Neolithic and Chalcolithic sites in Syria, Anatolia, Greece, and the Balkans. Collectively, their essays conceptualize and enable a deeper understanding of times of transition and changes in the archaeological record. Overcoming the terminological and chronological differences between the Near East and Europe, the volume expands from studies of individual societies into regional views and diachronic analyses. It enables researchers to compare archaeological data and analysis from across the region, and offers a new understanding of the importance of this archaeological story to broader, high-impact questions pertinent to climate and culture change.

  • Çatalhöyük is one of the most well-known and important Neolithic/Chalcolithic sites in the Middle East. Settlement at the site encompasses two separate tell mounds known as Çatalhöyük East and West, with the focus of attention having traditionally been upon what is often regarded as the main site, the earlier East Mound. Limitations of dating evidence have, however, rendered the nature of the relationship between the settlements on these mounds unclear. Traditional models favoured a hiatus between their occupation, or, alternatively, a rapid shift from one site to the other, often invoking changes in natural conditions by way of an explanation. New dates challenge these theories, and indicate a potentially significant overlap between the occupation of the mounds, starting in the late seventh millennium BC.
