Document Details : Title: Archaeological Survey at Salat Cami Yanı Subtitle: A Pottery Neolithic Site in the Tigris Valley, Southeast Turkey Author(s): MIYAKE, Yutaka Journal: Anatolica Volume: 31 Date: 2005 Pages: 1-17 DOI: 10.2143/ANA.31.0.2011750 Abstract : There seem to be distinctive disparities between the Pre-Pottery Neolithic and Pottery Neolithic periods in Southeast Anatolia. Although a series of 'cult buildings'found at Çayōnū and Nevalı Çori are well deserved of considerable attention, recent breathtaking findings at Göbekli Tepe have entirely altered the image of Pre-Pottery Neolithic Societies. As well as the life size male statue from Yeni Mahalle and other hilltop sites detected in Şanlıurfa province, these are explicit evidence of a high level of social complexity in the Pre-Pottery Neolithic periods in addition to the large settlement size, sophisticated layout of settlements and active long distance trade already known. |
