Cluster ROOTSMehmet Özdoğan from Istanbul University has been researching the Neolithic period in Anatolia for 60 years. During this time, the perception of this crucial period in human history has changed significantly. In his keynote lecture on Monday, Mehmet Özdoğan discussed the latest findings. In an interview, he also revealed the coincidence that led him to archaeology. <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/Archaeology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Archaeology</a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/Neolithic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Neolithic</a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/Anatolia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Anatolia</a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/HowtobecomeanArchaeologist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HowtobecomeanArchaeologist</a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/KielScales25" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#KielScales25</a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/archaeo100secs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#archaeo100secs</a>

DoomsdaysCWSo, pretty much 7,000 or 8,000 years ago, humans figured out how to live without rulers, and men and women were equal. From Wikipedia:<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/%C3%87atalh%C3%B6y%C3%BCk" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Çatalhöyük</a> (English: Chatalhoyuk /ˌtʃɑːtɑːlˈhujʊk/ cha-tal-HOO-yuhk; Turkish pronunciation: [tʃaˈtaɫhœjyc]; also Çatal Höyük and Çatal Hüyük; from Turkish çatal "fork" + höyük "tumulus") is a tell (a mounded accretion due to long-term human settlement) of a very large Neolithic and Chalcolithic proto-city settlement in southern Anatolia, which existed from approximately 7500 BC to 6400 BC and flourished around 7000 BC. In July 2012, it was inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site."Çatalhöyük was composed entirely of domestic buildings with no obvious public buildings. While some of the larger rooms have rather ornate murals, the purpose of others remains unclear.[...]"The sites were set up as large numbers of buildings clustered together. Households looked to their neighbors for help, trade, and possible marriage for their children. The inhabitants lived in mudbrick houses that were crammed together in an aggregate structure. No footpaths or streets were used between the dwellings, which were clustered in a honeycomb-like maze. Most were accessed by holes in the ceiling and doors on the side of the houses, with doors reached by ladders and stairs. The rooftops were effectively streets. The ceiling openings also served as the only source of ventilation, allowing smoke from the houses' open hearths and ovens to escape. Houses had plaster interiors accessed by squared-off timber ladders or steep stairs. These were usually on the south wall of the room, as were cooking hearths and ovens. The main rooms contained raised platforms that may have been used for a range of domestic activities. Typical houses contained two rooms for everyday activity, such as cooking and crafting. All interior walls and platforms were plastered to a smooth finish. Ancillary rooms were used as storage, and were accessed through low openings from main rooms."All rooms were kept scrupulously clean. Archaeologists identified very little rubbish in the buildings, finding middens outside the ruins, with sewage and food waste, as well as significant amounts of ash from burning wood, reeds, and animal dung. In good weather, many daily activities may also have taken place on the rooftops, which may have formed a plaza.[...]"Çatalhöyük has strong evidence of an <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/egalitarian" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#egalitarian</a> society, as no houses with distinctive features (belonging to royalty or religious <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/hierarchy" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#hierarchy</a> for example) have been found so far. The most recent investigations also reveal little social distinction based on gender, with men and women receiving equivalent nutrition and seeming to have equal social status, as typically found in Paleolithic cultures. Children observed domestic areas. They learned how to perform rituals and how to build or repair houses by watching the adults make statues, beads, and other objects. Çatalhöyük's spatial layout may be due to the close kin relations exhibited amongst the people. It can be seen, in the layout, that the people were 'divided into two groups who lived on opposite sides of the town, separated by a gully.' Furthermore, because no nearby towns were found from which marriage partners could be drawn, 'this spatial separation must have marked two intermarrying kinship groups.' This would help explain how a settlement so early on would become so large."In the upper levels of the site, it becomes apparent that the people of Çatalhöyük were honing skills in agriculture and the domestication of animals. Female figurines have been found within bins used for storage of cereals, such as wheat and barley, and the figurines are presumed to be of a deity protecting the grain. Peas were also grown, and almonds, pistachios, and fruit were harvested from trees in the surrounding hills. Sheep were domesticated and evidence suggests the beginning of cattle domestication as well. However, hunting continued to be a major source of food for the community. Pottery and obsidian tools appear to have been major industries; obsidian tools were probably both used and also traded for items such as Mediterranean sea shells and flint from Syria. Noting the lack of hierarchy and economic inequality, historian and anti-capitalist author Murray Bookchin has argued that Çatalhöyük was an early example of anarcho-communism."Source: <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%87atalh%C3%B6y%C3%BCk" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%87atalh%C3%B6y%C3%BCk</a><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AnarchoCommunism" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#AnarchoCommunism</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Anatolia" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Anatolia</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MutualAid" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#MutualAid</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AncientHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#AncientHistory</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Histodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Histodon</a>

DoomsdaysCWFrom 2015 - <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Catalh%C3%B6y%C3%BCk" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Catalhöyük</a>: an example of true gender equality?The Ascent of Woman confronts the unspoken suspicion that maybe the long-held second class status of women reflects a biological reality rather than social prejudice. To do that, the series had to do more than simply show some of the great women outliers, it had to explore the origins of gender inequality. For episode one, ‘Civilisation’, the starting point is the agricultural revolution, when humanity exchanged the hunt for the plough, and went from a nomadic lifestyle to settled communities."Catalhöyük: Where true gender equality flourished"When Professor <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IanHodder" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#IanHodder</a> took over the site, it wasn’t his intention to be controversial. Nevertheless, his findings have been revolutionary. His team dug through 18 levels, covering about 1,200 years of uninterrupted habitation. They found no evidence to support the claim that Catalhoyuk was a <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/matriarchy" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#matriarchy</a> or that female fertility was worshipped over and above that of phallic or animal spiritualism."But, Hodder insists, the question should never have been posed as an either-or issue. He argues that his team’s discoveries are so much more significant than anything previously imagined. Catalhoyuk was a place were true <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GenderEquality" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#GenderEquality</a> flourished. An examination of male and female skeletons show that both sexes ate the same diet, performed the same work, and spent the same amount of time outdoors. In life, they inhabited the same physical space; in death they were given the same kind of burials. There is no evidence for either a <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/patriarchal" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#patriarchal</a> or matriarchal system. In Catalhöyük a woman’s biology was not her fate."People have long accepted that political power is man-made rather than god-given. But it’s been different for female inequality. History, religion, science, everything in fact, has seemed to condemn feminism for being against the natural order. Thanks to Catalhöyük, we can say with confidence that there is nothing natural about patriarchy or matriarchy. Society can take many forms and shapes. Sex is genetic, but gender is cultural."Source: <a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/articles/1dRznJkKZ6DnG0fXMD2hxNP/catalhoyuk-an-example-of-true-gender-equality" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no">https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/articles/1dRznJkKZ6DnG0fXMD2hxNP/catalhoyuk-an-example-of-true-gender-equality</a>Watch episode here: <a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b0693y0j" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no">https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b0693y0j</a>YouTube: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W1tVtEMKGAY" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W1tVtEMKGAY</a><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AncientHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#AncientHistory</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Turkey" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Turkey</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Anatolia" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Anatolia</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/History" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#History</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Histodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Histodon</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Archaeology" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Archaeology</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Catalhoyuk" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Catalhoyuk</a>
