Punktem wyjścia do rozważań jest osada Çatalhöyük w środkowej Anatolii. We wczesnym neolicie wyróżniały ją domostwa bogato zdobione malowidłami i rzeźbami. Istniał swoisty kanon symboli i motywów. Osada ulegała stopniowym przemianom, zmniejszając swój rozmiar i u schyłku 7 tysiąclecia została opuszczona. Rozpad Çatalhöyük, początek masowej migracji i pojawienie się osad w Regionie Jezior są mniej więcej równoczasowe. Upadek neolitycznego świata nie oznaczał jednak końca sfery wyobrażeniowej. Wizerunki znane ze ścian Çatalhöyük zaczęły pojawić się w Regionie Jezior. W celu prześledzenia obecności i dynamiki zmian sfery wyobrażeniowej, dane uzyskane w trakcie wykopalisk z czterech intensywnie przebadanych stanowisk archeologicznych (ceramika, figurki, pieczęcie stemplowe) zostały przeanalizowane w opar...

Research paper thumbnail of Late Neolithic and post-Neolithic settlements and burial grounds in the TPC Area at Çatalhöyük: The research project of the archaeological team of Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań

The section of this large Neolithic settlement located in the uppermost part of the south eminence of East mound is named the Team Poznań Connection (TPC) Area and was excavated in the years 2012-2017. The unearthed stratigraphic sequence is dated to the period from ca. 6350 to 6000 BC. The project led to the discovery of nine Late Neolithic houses with associated built-in structures and numerous burials. The paper outlines the most important discoveries in house architecture, burial practice, and material culture. The research has contributed significantly to a better understanding of the last centuries of the settlement’s occupation, as well as enhanced our knowledge of the Near Eastern Neolithic. This paper provides an overview of the major transformations of Neolithic lifeways in this period. In addit...

All these people came to join Turkish colleagues working at the site. The new excavations use modern scientific techniques to reconstruct the ways that people lived at Çatalhöyük. The aim is to place the art of Çatalhöyük into its full environmental, economic and social context. In the current phase of the project we are attempting to understand the overall social geography of the site, how it was organized ritually, socially and economically. In particular we are trying to work out how the organization of the site developed in the earliest levels. In order to pursue this latter aim we focused in 2012 on excavating buildings in the lower levels in the South Area (Figure 1.2), so that ultimately we can get to the base of the mound in a larger area than was achieved in 1999. We got to the underlying clay marls then, but in the lowest levels we had found only refuse or midden areas. Now we are hoping to find out what the earliest houses looked like, especially since Douglas Baird has found oval houses at the nearby earlier site of Boncuklu. So in the South Area we have been excavating a series of buildings such as Buildings 43, 89, 96 and 97. These have proved very interesting in their own right. In Building 89 a new plastered skull was found. This is only the second example found at the site and emphasizes again that human skulls were kept, passed down generations, and sometimes plastered. The skull was associated with the abandonment and closure of the building which in this case was unusual for other reasons also. The house was in the process of being renovated. A western room had been dismantled and earth collected in a pile in order to rebuild it. But, in the midst of this renovation project, the work was abandoned and the house was closed and filled in so that another house (Building 76) could be constructed on top. We had always thought that houses were rebuilt when they reached the end of their 'use-lives'. But clearly that was not always the case. In the North Area our main achievement was to gain a fuller plan of all the buildings beneath the shelter. Ultimately we hope that the UNESCO heritage site will provide an opportunity for visitors to see how a 9000 year old town was organized. In previous years we had excavated Figure 1.2.

An international team now based in London University (UK) and Stanford University (USA) has undertaken archaeological research at Çatalhöyük since 1993, with a permit granted by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, and under the auspices of the British Institute at Ankara. We are especially grateful to the General Director of Monuments and Museums. The main sponsors of the project are Yapı Kredi and Boeing. Other sponsors are Shell, Hedef Alliance, Konya Şeker and Konya Çimento.

This methodology (see Chapter 3) is based on a metamodel describing the complete software and data life cycles, domain models, and design intentions. This metamodel specifies tools to produce software development models, including transformations that generate or configure software applications as well as data development models, incorporating data quality and integrity constraints, data curation workflows, and data transformations. Software and data engineering are different disciplines, with different practices and processes. Significant differences between these fields mean that a single prescriptive approach could not work. Instead, the project has identified a matrix of synchronisation points between different stages of the software and data ...

Two large excavation campaigns, carried out in the years 1961–1965 and 1993–2017, have generated a large amount of data. A particularly large body of data was accumulated over the twenty-five-year period of excavation and analyses carried out by the Çatalhöyük Research Project. One of the project’s major undertakings was to make all data collected accessible for wider audiences. To realize this idea the project’s digital database was designed and made accessible for everyone, both scholars and non-scholars, via the Çatalhöyük website since the very beginning of the project. This article explores different forms of engagement with the Çatalhöyük database that not only enhance its visibility and accessibility, but can serve as an exemplary case for archaeology at large.

With the ending of the project, it is essential to review the achievements and limitations of the strategies employed at the site. We consider the transformation of community outreach and involvement over the years of the project, from the ethnoarchaeological and experimental archaeology components in the 1990s, through the capacity building initiatives of the 2000s, to the ethnographies and evaluations that characterized the concluding years of the project. While discrete initiatives over the course of the project deserve recognition and celebration, overall community engagement remained a tangential, rather than core, aspect of the Çatalhöyük Research Project—and one that was limited by the conflicting interests of the diverse communities for whom the site holds importance.

This goal was satisfactorily achieved by analysing a sequence of mudbrick walls in the west sector of the excavated area. These were further identified on the Mellaart plans from his Anatolian Studies report published in 1962 as originating from Levels I and II. Consequently, after careful stratigraphic analysis of all deposits in the excavated trench, it proved possible to distinguish three late Neolithic phases corresponding to Levels 0, I, and II according to the Mellaart scheme. All structures dated to Level 0 in the TP area were excavated in the 2005 season. This season also involved recognising and lifting the remaining elements of the late occupation phases of this part of the mound. These comprised five Byzantine burials (one adult and four infants)...

As workers, as cooks and housekeepers, as ethnoarchaeological consultants, as museum exhibit collaborators, men and women living around Çatalhöyük supported the research team in creating the archaeological record of the site. Still, while local community members were involved in so many dimensions of the excavation process, community involvement initiatives at Çatalhöyük saw both successes and limitations. Many individual community engagement programs achieved their targeted aims, but at the same time were just that-individual and targeted. Most were driven by particular organizers and took place only while these specific people were involved in the project. Moreover, the degree to which such initiatives accomplished their goals was shaped by broader conditions at the local, regional, and national scales. Here, we offer a comprehensive and contextualized view of community engagement as a continual component of the work at Çatalhöyük. Our analysis proceeds chronologically in order to illustrate the diachronic changes in defining what community engagement meant at Çatalhöyük over the course of the project. Our aim is both to describe the goals, strategies, and outcomes of the many community engagement initiatives at Çatalhöyük, and to draw out the broader social, political, and material realities that shaped program outcomes.
