Neolithic ��atalh繹y羹k (7100���5950 BCE) is infamous for its sensational and curious material culture. Although the so-called mother goddess figurines have always been a source of great media attention, the vast majority of the visual expressions at the site are not anthropomorphic, but instead centered on wild and dangerous creatures. Many studies have previously considered the ��atalh繹y羹k animal iconography in the context of symbolism and/or religion (Hodder and Meskell ; Stordeur ; Cauvin and Watkins ; Mellaart ). Far fewer works have scrutinized how these materializations speak to the connections forged between people and animals. This article explores the way in which animals were embedded within the social bonds and ontologies of the site through ritual practice. Ritual is not a synonym for religion, but in this study is defined as repetitive, patterned, and symbolic activity that is socially sanctioned (Firth ). In doing so, we can gain new insights into the complexity of the relationship between humans and animals and how this relationship endured across more than a thousand years of continuous occupation.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_column_text responsive_align=”left”]17勛圖Members with online access: navigate to the token link email sent to you (search for “token link” in inbox) before attempting to read this article.

Pp. 146���154: “Towards the End of the ��atalh繹y羹k East Settlement: A Faunal Approach,” by Kamilla Paw��owska
The ��atalh繹y羹k site produced material from the Neolithic occupation (7100 cal BCE���5900 cal BCE) through the Muslim period, including Bronze Age, Iron Age (Phrygian period), and Hellenistic periods. Twenty-five years of research have allowed us to study various ecofacts and artifacts, including animal and plant remains, human bones, pottery, stamp seals, and figurines. Faunal remains, which are the focus here, have been the subject of intense multidisciplinary research, particularly during the last decade. This has led to a greater understanding of Neolithic farmers��� subsistence patterns in the Anatolian region; the domestication, health and disease in past animal populations; spread of livestock; daily practices of animal food-related activities and management of waste; and of the ecological conditions of the region in which this community operated. Animals were also involved in social practice (Russell, Martin, and Twiss ; Paw��owska ; Paw��owska and Marciszak ; Der this issue) and used as a source of raw material in manufacturing.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_column_text responsive_align=”left”]17勛圖Members with online access: navigate to the token link email sent to you (search for “token link” in inbox) before attempting to read this article.

From the Middle Paleolithic onwards, pigments have been used variably in different social and ritual activities as well as in the expression of symbolism through material culture (e.g., Brooks et al. ; D���Errico ). In the Levant and Anatolia, symbolic practices with pigments became increasingly common in the epipaleolithic and pre-pottery Neolithic periods (e.g., Bocquentin and Garrard ; Goring-Morris, Hovers, and Belfer-Cohen ; Richter et al. ; Baird ; Baird et al. ).[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_column_text responsive_align=”left”]17勛圖Members with online access: navigate to the token link email sent to you search for “token link” in inbox)泭before attempting to read this article.

Santiago-Marrero, and John Wainwright
The transition from a mobile hunter-gatherer lifestyle to a settled way of living is one of the most significant processes in human history. There were undeniable benefits to this process, with increased food security and longer lifespans, but there were also negative consequences associated with an increased density of living. At ��atalh繹y羹k we have over one thousand years of continuous occupation from the Pre-Pottery Neolithic to Chalcolithic period (7100���5700 BCE). The settlement changes from a dense agglomeration in its earliest phase, where individual buildings are constructed wall to wall with no gaps or streets between them, to a more open nucleated settlement towards the end of the occupation. Large numbers of people living in a fixed location inevitably leads to the production of large amounts of waste. One of the most significant consequences of these activities is the creation of ���pollution,��� both in the physical environment, and the decline in air quality.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_column_text responsive_align=”left”]17勛圖Members with online access: navigate to the token link email sent to you (search for “token link” in inbox) before attempting to read this article.

Pp. 176���181: “Engaging with the ��atalh繹y羹k Database: House at ��atalh繹y羹k (HATCH) and Other Applications,” by Arkadiusz Marciniak, Jacek Marciniak, Patrycja Filipowicz, Katarzyna Harabasz, and J��drzej Hordecki
��atalh繹y羹k remains one of the most intensively and meticulously excavated prehistoric sites in the history of archaeology. Two large excavation campaigns, carried out in the years 1961���1965 and 1993���2017, have generated considerable data. A particularly large body of data was accumulated over the twenty-five-year period of excavation and analyses carried out by the ��atalh繹y羹k Research Project. One of the project���s major undertakings was to make all data collected accessible for wider audiences (Hodder ).[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_column_text responsive_align=”left”]17勛圖Members with online access: navigate to the token link email sent to you (search for “token link” in inbox) before attempting to read this article.

Over the twenty-five years of community engagement at ��atalh繹y羹k, local community members played integral roles in the production of knowledge about the site. As workers, as cooks and housekeepers, as ethnoarchaeological consultants, as museum exhibit collaborators, men and women living around ��atalh繹y羹k supported the research team in creating the archaeological record of the site.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_column_text responsive_align=”left”]17勛圖Members with online access: navigate to the token link email sent to you (search for “token link” in inbox) 泭before attempting to read this article.

as ���animal handler��� or ���skinner��� on the basis of texts from the Old Babylonian period. Written sources from the third millennium, however, indicate that these translations are not applicable in earlier times, since people so designated worked on the first steps of leather processing or with the preparation of the bare skins for tanning. Therefore, in such texts the translation Bl繹��envorbereiter, that is ���preparer of cleaned animal skins��� is a better fit. Moreover, third-millennium texts provide further information on the profession su-si-(ig), which was apparently practiced only by men who worked in the large temple and palace public institutions and in some cases could hold high social positions.
epigraphic sources concerning the 禳akkanakkus (rulers) of Mari, especially those that reigned during the 20th and first part of 19th centuries BCE, that is the final phase of the 禳akkanakku period that preceded the reign of Ya廎削un-L簾m in Mari ca. 1820/1810 BC. New readings of the seal impressions ME64+ME196 and ME14 indicate that they all belong to the same cylinder seal belonging to a ruler named T蘋n蘋n-Dagan, whose father was Iddin-Dagan. Both rulers were previously unknown.
The results of a survey of the site and its surroundings are given together with the publication of a number of new brick inscriptions belonging to early Old Babylonian kings of Malgium.
were used by Old Babylonian surveyors to construct perpendicular field boundaries accurately. This is the only known application of diagonal triples from this time, and one of the most complete examples of applied geometry from the ancient world.
mathematical cuneiform tablets containing multiplication tables. Their physical and textual characteristics suggest that they were produced in the same ancient context. What is remarkable about this small set of tablets is that, unlike most such tablets, two of them have colophons: in AO 8900 we find a month-and-day date, while in AO 8901 we find a damaged year name. These tablets are published here for the first time, together with a discussion of how the information about the year name in AO 8901 fits in what is known about the dating of Old Babylonian mathematics.
The proposal is here offered to read the Ugaritic administrative text RS 10.052 iv 1 as containing the personal name pЗmw, the Ugaritic writing of the Luwian name Pi廎冠muwa.
