Event Summary

The aim of this paper is to shed further light on the social organisation of Neolithic Çatalhöyük, with particular reference to animal and plant production and consumption. The paper first summarizes recent evidence concerning the spatial organisation of the settlement in terms of nested segments and cross-cutting sodalities, and then asks to what extent the management of plant resources and domestic sheep accord with this scheme. In the latter endeavor, spatial autocorrelation analysis is used to supplement other analyses that have sought to identify significant spatial patterning.
