Beginnings of Village-Farming Communities in Southeastern Turkey
Robert J. Braidwood, , Wulf Schirmer, Beginnings of Village-Farming Communities in Southeastern Turkey: Cayönü Tepesi, 1978 and 1979, Journal of Field Archaeology, Vol. 8, No. 3 (Autumn, 1981), pp. 249-258
Beginnings of Village-Farming Communities in Southeastern Turkey
The most recent preliminary report on excavations at the early village-farming community site of Çayönü in SE Turkey covered the field season of 1972. What was learned in the next two field seasons, 1978 and 1979, summarized here, supports a somewhat unhappy proposition. The more that exposures on a site are enlarged and deepened, the more that earlier suggestions and interpretations must be revised. This is unfortunate because the earlier sugges…
Archaeological retrospect 2
It is initially flattering to receive an invitation to be retrospective in ANTIQUITY. The moment of truth comes soon, however, as thought about writing begins. Was the growth of one's career and ideas about archaeology so smoothly flowing and well reasoned as casual and doubtless fatuous fancy first recalls? How fairly have earlier attempts at retrospection (and I've attempted several: 1972a, 1972b, 1974) corresponded to reality, and what, if any…

A Demographer's View of Prehistoric Demography [and Comments and Replies]
The direct data on the population of prehistoric man are typically too sparse to be used alone. However, such supports as the population-resources model can easily become distortive prisons rather than aids to analysis, and the most important general point from ethnographic analogy-that contemporary primitives differ widely in their demographic characteristics but in all cases these are affected by a belief in the supernatural-is seldom reflected…

The Iranian Prehistoric Project
Many indications point toward the hill flanks of the Fertile Crescent in southwestern Asia as the scene of the earliest development of effective food production and a village-farming-community way of life, some 10,000 years ago or less. In its 1959-60 field season, with a staff made up of both cultural and natural historians, the Iranian Prehistoric Project reclaimed further evidence of this important transitional step in human history. This is a…

Guess Dating for Jarmo
The original guess dates for Jarmo were about 6000 B.C. (and thus close to the recent Washington and Heidelberg radiocarbon dates of 6750 B.C.) rather than about 4750 B.C. (the date derived from Libby's original radiocarbon determinations) as suggested in the papers on obsidian dating in American Antiquity, Volume 25, Number 1

Jericho and its Setting in Near Eastern History
The recent general accounts of Miss Kathleen Kenyon's brilliant series of campaigns at Tell es-Sultan, the mound in Jordan generally conceded to be that of ancient Jericho, will be well known to readers of Antiquity (cf. especially Wheeler, no. 119, 132-6; Kenyon, no. 120, 184-95). Sir Mortimer Wheeler and Miss Kenyon interpret the prehistoric archaeological assemblages of the two basal phases of Tell es-Sultan as evidence of civization (Miss Ken…
The Earliest Village Materials of Syro-Cilicia
In 1937, in a series in honour of Sir John Myres, Professor Childe wrote an essay entitled ‘Neolithic Black Ware in Greece and on the Danube’. Childe made two major points. He clarified his position that the major direction of diffusion in the spread of the village-farming community was from south-western Asia towards Europe. Secondly, he considered the then available south-west Asiatic evidence—mainly ceramic—which seemed antecedent to similar e…

Radiocarbon Dates and Their Implications in the Near and Middle Eastern Area, a Brief
It is an unfortunate fact that the Near-Middle Eastern area, which has produced its share of the world's more spectacular antiquities, and which has been the focus of archaeological activity for so many years, has supplied but little material for the radiocarbon dating project. The dearth of specimens would seem to be due to two main factors. First, the general lack of attention hitherto given by excavators to non-artifactual materials (i.e., unw…

Jarmo
There is a body of theory, most clearly delineated in recent years by V. Gordon Childe, concerning the importance of the appearance of Food-Production as a basic economic revolution. The domestication of plants and animals assured a stable food supply. Proper village life now came into being, and with it a completely new kind of technology. This latter depends on the fact that time now became available for pursuits other than that of simply colle…
