The younger Dryas layer at Boncuklu Tarla and the beginning of village life in the upper Tigris Basin

Ergul Kodas

Summary: Recent archaeological excavations in the Upper Tigris Basin have provided new finds from the pre-PPNA Period, the Younger Dryas, which have reopened discussions on the Proto-Neolithic Period in the East Jazeera and Northwest Zagros Region. The discoveries in the Boncuklu Tarla settlement area indicate the presence of semi-sedentary or sedentary communities in the region, unlike the Natufian culture known in the Southern Levant Region.

An endemic pathway to sheep and goat domestication at As , ikliHo euro yu euro k (Central Anatolia, Turkey)

Mary C. Stiner et al.

Summary: This study investigates the domestication process of caprines at Asıklı Höyük, revealing a local domestication process that began around 8400 cal BC and went through three viable systems. This site was an independent center of caprine domestication and supports the multiple origins evolutionary model.

Asikli Hoyuk: The Generative Evolution of a Central Anatolian PPN Settlement in Regional Context

Mary C. Stiner et al.

Summary: The first Neolithic settlements in Southwest Asia began with a dual commitment to plant cultivation and a sedentary lifestyle. The benefits gained from this commitment came with inescapable constraints, setting new evolutionary pathways for human social and economic activities. Internal dynamics and external influences at the early Pre-Pottery Neolithic site of Asikli Hoyuk in central Anatolia led to unique developments, including domestication of wheat and caprine management, with gradual changes and cumulative transformations in architecture and settlement layout. The evidence suggests a largely local evolution of an early Pre-Pottery Neolithic community, but burgeoning inequalities likely stimulated greater regional interaction toward the end of the sequence.

From chaff to seagrass: The unique quality of Minoan mudbricks. A geoarchaeological approach to the study of architectural craft specialization in Bronze Age Crete

Marta Lorenzon

Summary: This article explores how changes in the use of vegetal temper in Bronze Age earthen architecture in Crete provide evidence for the appearance of architectural craft specialization. The diversity in the selection of vegetal temper indicates not only opportunistic but also technological motivations in the development of earthen architecture. The widespread use of the seagrass species Posidonia oceanica across the island suggests standardization of recipes between manufacturers and builders.

Early Neolithic Innovation: Ventilation Systems and the Built Environment

Gunes Duru et al.

Summary: The shift from mobile communities to sedentism in southwestern Asia led to a wide range of rapid innovations including the creation of long-lasting built environments and adaptation to year-round settlements. These technological and socio-economic changes improved the lives of inhabitants in these communities, defining the period as a time of techno-cultural revolutions. Architectural innovations such as ventilation shafts and the domestication of plants and animals originated during this period, shaping the characteristics of today's architectural technology.

Multi-Proxy Approach to Archaeological Dung Research: New Evidence from Aceramic Neolithic Site of Asikli Hoyuk, Central Anatolia

Melis Uzdurum et al.

Summary: Animal dung is an important research area in archaeology, providing insights into past community life and human-animal interactions. By using different analytical methods, markers of dung can be identified in archaeological construction materials, showing changes in the use of animal dung over time and space.
