Professor Yutaka Miyake is visiting us from Tsukuba University for his research leave, working with the Early Villages research group.
New evidence from Hasankeyf Höyük, an Early Neolithic (or PPNA) site mainly occupied during the later 10th millennium cal. BC, provides us with new insights into settlement structure, mortuary practices, ritual and symbolic behaviour of a sedentary hunter-gatherer community in the Upper Tigris, southeast Anatolia. The lecture therefore explores the relationship between sedentism, food production, ritual and symbolism.
