Aesthetic, Social, and Material Networks
The Neolithic period bore witness to the emergence of novel engagements between humans and the material world. In the Middle East, these interactions were important components of broader social and ritual developments which came about with the rise of sedentary communities. In this paper, we examine the significance of these processes as represented by elaborate flint daggers at the site of Çatalhöyük in Central Anatolia. Detailed analyses of the…
Early Specialized Production? A Chalcolithic Stone Bracelet Workshop at K anlitaş, T urkey
An assemblage of marble bracelets, at various stages of manufacture, recovered during surface survey of the site of K anlıtaş in T urkey, indicates that there was specialized production activity at the site during the C halcolithic period. In this article we present the assemblage, evidence about material procurement, technology and manufacturing processes. We discuss the significance of the assemblage in relation to other sites in the area and a…
Resilience and Redundance
The polycentric nature of Neolithic developments in the Middle East has prompted several discussions related to the processes driving regional diversification in the emergence of agglomerate societies. Archaeologists have recognized how diverse social, environmental, and material landscapes shaped various communities, resulting in a heterogenous Neolithic world. In this paper, we use portable x-ray fluorescence analysis to determine the use of di…
The Importance of Chert in Central Anatolia
This paper is a presentation of three sources of artifact‐quality chert in C entral A natolia. A previous dearth of research focused on locating and characterizing such raw material sources has incorrectly colored our view of prehistoric economic practices. To remedy this situation, we have conducted a survey of various locales within C entral A natolia to test for the presence of artifact‐quality materials. We make use of I ndividual A ttribute …
