“…Accordingly, attempts to synthesize the Neolithic as a whole, as conducted by Hodder (1990) and Cauvin (1997), seem intrinsically and unjustifiably totalizing and overly simplistic to us. We would argue that the Near Eastern Neolithic should better be perceived as fragmented and as a mosaic (Tringham 2000).…”

The neolithic communities of central Anatolia are generally reconstructed as being constituted by relatively autonomous and homologous households occupying discrete residences and performing most domestic activities in the house. In this reconstruction households are seen as the uniform and unproblematic basic component of society. This paper aims to problematize this modular conception of central Anatolian Neolithic societies, and wants to draw attention to the multiple forms in which households occurred and the manner in which they were embedded in larger social associations. It is argued that different levels of social association can only be understood in relation to each other. Further, the manner in which social configurations in central Anatolia changed over time is explored. This will be done by presenting evidence from two central Anatolian Neolithic sites: Aşıklı Höyük and Ç atalhöyük. In particular, we argue that households became autonomous and clearly bounded entities only towards the end of the central Anatolian Neolithic, and that too little consideration has been given to the neighbourhood and the local community encompassing individual households.

“…It also included incised bone and limestone objects that may have contained encoded information . These symbolic developments had significant cognitive and religious meaning and value as stridently advocated by Cauvin (1994Cauvin ( , 2000. Although the interpretive potential has yet to be fully realized, symbolic expressions of this nature may have played an important role in reinforcing new forms of social interaction.…”

“…Cauvin (1978Cauvin ( , 1994 pioneered this topic in the Near East, asserting that ideological developments preceded agriculture and that the emergence of deities (manifested as goddesses in human form and bulls) was necessary for humans to fundamentally change their relationship with the natural world. Cauvin's influential and provocative thesis has been recently updated and translated into English (Cauvin, 1997(Cauvin, , 2000 and subjected to considerable discussion (Bar-Yosef, 2001b;Hodder, 2001;Verhoeven, 2002a;Wakins, 2001;Wright, 2001). Recent exciting new discoveries at Neolithic sites also have prompted further consideration of psychocultural developments.…”

This article reassesses the timing, context, and impetus for the onset of sedentary, complex hunter-gatherers, food production, and village life in the Near East during the Late Pleistocene and Early Holocene. Drawing on recent paleoclimatic and archaeological results, I argue that sedentism and then village life were rapid rather than gradual events that occurred during optimal climatic conditions and took place in resource-rich settings. These two social milestones included fundamental changes in economic strategies, social interaction, and ideology. Only by understanding the interplay between preexisting social institutions and human agency within communities prior to and during these periods of major social change will we be able to understand how and why food production began.

“…Y sólo la difusión neolítica habría alcanzado en el pasado un grado de generalización suficiente como para poder explicar tal fenómeno. De manera que, como ha señalado Cauvin (1997), incorporando además los aportes de la lingüística histórica, los problemas planteados por la difusión neolítica a partir del Próximo Oriente se sitúan en el corazón de un debate pluridisciplinar que afecta no sólo al origen de las civilizaciones agro-pastorales de Europa, sino también a nuestro patrimonio genético y a las lenguas que hablamos.…”

“…De modo que estos abrigos pintados reclaman su carácter de santuarios y algunos vasos pueden considerarse objetos relacionados con el culto, entendido como forma estable de vida religiosa. Lo que nos lleva hacia las reflexiones expuestas en los últimos años, especialmente por parte de Cauvin (1997), sobre la importancia del cambio conceptual a la hora de explicar los inicios del Neolítico. Y también sobre el papel que corresponde a la nueva ideología neolítica, junto a los cambios económicos y sociales, como motor de esa expansión a la que nos hemos referido anteriormente (Bernabeu, 1999;Binder, 2000).…”

RESUMENComo parte de la cultura material del Neolítico antiguo se presenta el conjunto de los tubos de hueso de la Cova de rOr (Beniarrés, Alicante), en su mayor parte fabricados sobre ulnas de aves. El examen de las huellas de uso, los paralelos arqueológicos y etnográficos, y la reconstrucción experimental conducen a su identificación como instrumentos musicales del tipo flauta de Pan, o siringas monocála-mas. Su presencia en distintos contextos y cronologías, incluyendo otros yacimientos del Neolítico peninsular, muestran la generalización de este instrumento musical. En la Cova de r Or la representación de una danza en uno de sus vasos, realizada mediante impresiones cardiales, incide en la importancia de la música y del mundo religioso, tal como se desprende del arte rupestre Macroesquemático y de sus paralelos cerámicos.
