Hodder: Religion in the Emergence of Civilization: Catalhoyuk as a Case Study. Paperback

Religion in the Emergence of Civilization: Catalhoyuk as a Case Study.
Ian Hodder 2010
Paperback, 372 pages, 43 b/w illus., 253 x 215 mm
Involving an eminent group of natural scientists, archaeologists, anthropologists, philosophers, and theologians, this volume examines Catalhoyuk as a case study. A nine-thousand-year old town in central Turkey, Catalhoyuk was first excavated in the 1960s and has since become integral to understanding the symbolic and ritual worlds of the early farmers and village-dwellers in the Middle East. It is thus an ideal location for exploring theories about the role of religion in early settled life. This book provides a unique overview of current debates concerning religion and its historical variations.
