- Title
Ritual in the landscape: evidence from Pınarbaşı in the seventh-millennium cal BC Konya Plain.
- Authors
Baird, Douglas; Carruthers, Denise; Fairbairn, Andrew; Pearson, Jessica
- Abstract
Excavations in the rockshelter at Pınarbaşı, 24.5km south-east of Çatalhöyük, have brought to light a sequence of structures and a rich assemblage of animal bones, with some of the bones embedded in plaster objects. The authors argue for a strong link with Çatalhöyük, and propose a hunter-herder site operated by a close-knit group from that settlement, supplying meat to it, but practising their own up-country rituals -- so providing a glimpse of the 'lived landscape.'
