Taphonomies of landscape: investigating the immediate environs of Çatalhöyük from prehistory to the present

“…1). The details of several sub-sets of the excavated graves have been published in a number of places and a synthetic publication is in preparation which will draw together the contextual and osteological data for the portion of the cemetery which remains unpublished (Cottica et al 2012;Kwiatkowska 2009;Moore, Jackson 2014; Marciniak, Moore in preparation). Preliminary results of the Çatalhöyük historic cemeteries project are available within the Çatalhöyük archive reports and Heritage Turkey (Moore 2012;2014a;2014b;Jackson et al 2013;Moore, Jackson 2014;Moore, Gamble 2015;2016).…”

“…Meanwhile, an extensive survey has also been conducted on the wider Konya plain, together with a programme of environmental sampling around the site which have helped to set Çatalhöyük within a broader context (Baird 1996;2004). As soon as survey and excavation began in 1993, it became clear that there was evidence of later activity on the mounds dating from the Hellenistic period onwards (Matthews 1996: 88-99), but, while carefully excavated, the record from these later periods has been published only sporadically by individual teams working on particular areas of the site (Kwiatkowska 2009;Cottica et al 2012). A programme of research on post-Chalcolithic material across both mounds and the surrounding area began in 2011, including structures, the immediate landscape context and mortuary evidence (Moore, Jackson 2014;Yeomans 2014;Hordecki 2015).…”
