- Title
The microstratigraphy of middens: capturing daily routine in rubbish at Neolithic Çatalhöyök, Turkey.

Shillito, Lisa-Marie; Matthews, Wendy; Almond, Matthew J.; Bull, Ian D.
- Abstract
Microstratigraphy -- the sequencing of detailed biological signals on site -- is an important new approach being developed in the Çatalhöyük project. Here the authors show how microscopic recording of the strata and content of widespread middens on the tell are revealing daily activities and the selective employment of plants in houses and as fuel. Here we continue to witness a major advance in the practice of archaeological investigation.
