Geological Map of the Unesco site of Ḫattuša (Türkiye)
We present the Geological Map of the UNESCO archaeological site of Ḫattuša in Türkiye. The mapped ∼5 km2 area is characterized by different superposed thrust sheets of the Upper Jurassic-Cretaceous Ankara Mélange succession, which is covered by Quaternary deposits. Here, the Ankara Mélange consists of an ophiolitic sequence comprising massive, layered and pillow basalts, gabbros and serpentinites, overlain by a sedimentary oceanic succession incl…
Survey and Analysis of Hieroglyphic Inscriptions in the Postern of Yerkapı–Ḫattuša
Yerkapı, a prominent structure within Ḫattuša, the capital of the Hittite Empire (17th–12th century BC), exemplifies the sophisticated architectural and cultural practices of this ancient civilisation. The monument, encompassing a Sphinx Gate and an underground tunnel (postern) featuring 249 hieroglyphic inscriptions, is hypothesised to have served ceremonial rather than defensive purposes. This study employs a multidisciplinary approach to docum…
New crop stable isotope evidence reveals the impact of the 3.2 ka rapid climate event on arable agricultural production at late Bronze Age – Iron Age Hattuşa, Central Anatolia
Investigations into the nature of Bronze Age urban agriculture in Western Eurasia have shown that expanding populations utilised farming regimes that focussed on low-input cereal production. These management systems were capable of providing food for daily consumption and long-term storage, but could leave societies vulnerable to climatic fluctuations, with wider implications for the politics and ecology of these ancient states. This paper will p…
From Commitment to Action
ago, the Executive Board of the Society for Music Perception and Cognition (SMPC) contributed an editorial where it made a series of important commitments to embrace anti-racist practices and promote equity in the field (Baker et al., 2020).These included commitment to actions beyond the words on the page: ''to establish lasting infrastructure allow[ing] SMPC to continue to make progress'' to promote equity.This infrastructure notably included th…
A new look at an ancient city
The intense use of scientific dating over the last three decades makes it possible for the first time reasonably to connect the topographically diverse parts of the Hittite capital Ḫattuša. Not only was the decision to found a city at this site based on pre-Hittite parameters, but at the same time, it also becomes clear that the settlement is one of the very few in Anatolia which was continuously used from the end of the third millennium BC throu…
An Incised Decorated Bone Inlay from the Hittite Empire Period Found at Boğazköy/Hattusa
During new excavations carried out since 2022 on the B ̈y ̈kkale Northwest Slope, which connects the two poles of the Hittite capital Hattusa—the palace area on B ̈y ̈kkale and the Lower Town—a unique ivory inlay was found in 2023. The antithetical depiction shows a sphinx and a lion in front of a tree of life. Per numerous iconographic details, this find provides unprecedented first-hand insights into the cultural relations between the states in…
Aesthetic Motivation Impacts Judgments of Others’ Prosociality and Mental Life
The ability to infer others’ prosocial vs. antisocial behavioral tendencies from minimal information is core to social reasoning. Aesthetic motivation (the value or appreciation of aesthetic beauty) is linked with prosocial tendencies, raising the question of whether this factor is used in interpersonal reasoning and in the attribution of mental capacities. We propose and test a model of this reasoning, predicting that evidence of others’ aesthet…
How musicality changes moral consideration
A growing literature shows that music increases prosocial behavior. Why does this occur? We propose a novel hypothesis, informed by moral psychology: evidence of others’ musicality may promote prosociality by leading us to judge musical individuals as having enhanced moral standing. This effect may be largely indirect, by increasing perceptions of how intelligent and emotionally sensitive musical individuals are. If so, simply knowing about other…
Interpersonal utility and children's social inferences from shared preferences
Similarity of behaviors or attributes is often used to infer social affiliation and prosociality. Does this reflect reasoning using a simple expectation of homophily, or more complex reasoning about shared utility? We addressed this question by examining the inferences children make from similar choices when this similarity does or does not cause competition over a zero-sum resource. Four- to six-year-olds (N = 204) saw two vignettes, each featur…
Expectancy Effects Threaten the Inferential Validity of Synchrony-Prosociality Research
Many studies argue that synchronized movement increases prosocial attitudes and behavior. We reviewed meta-analytic evidence that reported effects of synchrony may be driven by experimenter expectancy, leading to experimenter bias; and participant expectancy, otherwise known as placebo effects. We found that a majority of published studies do not adequately control for experimenter bias and that multiple independent replication attempts with adde…
The origins of dance
Dance is a universal human behavior and a crucial component of human musicality. When and how does the motivation and tendency to move to music develop? How does this behavior change as a process of maturation and learning? We characterize infants' earliest dance behavior, leveraging parents' extensive at-home observations of their children. Parents of infants aged 0-24 months (N = 278, 82.7% White, 84.5% in the United States, 46.0% of household …
Acoustic regularities in infant-directed speech and song across cultures
Music as a coevolved system for social bonding
Why do humans make music? Theories of the evolution of musicality have focused mainly on the value of music for specific adaptive contexts such as mate selection, parental care, coalition signaling, and group cohesion. Synthesizing and extending previous proposals, we argue that social bonding is an overarching function that unifies all of these theories, and that musicality enabled social bonding at larger scales than grooming and other bonding …
Do you see what I see? Children's understanding of perception and physical interaction over video chat
In 2020, millions of children shifted to using video chat for core aspects of education and social interaction. While video chat allows for genuine social interaction—in which the partner can see and hear you—affordances in other modalities are limited (e.g., touch). Do children understand the nuanced affordances and limitations of video chat? Here we provide evidence of these abilities at preschool age. Prior to COVID-19, we conducted an experim…
The deep learning method applied to the detection and mapping of stone deterioration in open-air sanctuaries of the Hittite period in Anatolia
Embracing Anti-Racist Practices in the Music Perception and Cognition Community
This past summer, the police killings of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and Ahmaud Arbery in the United States led to public outcry and international protests in support of the Black Lives Matter movement, and broader awareness of the effects of systemic racism. Following these events, many organizations have reflected critically on how they participate in practices that marginalize underrepresented members of their community. The Society for Musi…

Infant-directed speech drives social preferences in 5-month-old infants
Adults across cultures speak to infants in a specific infant-directed manner. We asked whether infants use this manner of speech (infant- or adult-directed) to guide their subsequent visual preferences for social partners. We found that 5-month-old infants encode an individuals' use of infant-directed speech and adult-directed speech, and use this information to guide their subsequent visual preferences for individuals even after the speech behav…
Hattuscha
Am 28. Juli 1834 steht der französische Architekt und Archäologe Charles Texier in den monumentalen Ruinen einer längst untergegangenen Stadt in Zentralanatolien. Er vermutet, daß die gewaltigen Mauern zu dem von dem griechischen Historiker Herodot im 5. Jahrhundert erwähnten medischen Pteria gehören. Rufen Texiers Entdeckungen in Europa auch allseits Erstaunen hervor, so ahnt doch niemand die wahre Sensation: Der Franzose ist auf die Hauptstadt …
Vier Sitzbilder aus Bīt-Baḫiani
Four statues of seated figures found in south-east Turkey just across the border from Tall Halaf contribute to the corpus of Syro-Hittite sculpture. Their close stylistic and iconographic similarities to monuments from Tall Halaf indicate a date in the 10 th and early 9 th century B. C. Moreover they suggest that these funeral monuments were not restricted to the capital of Bit-Bayhiani
