Resumo

Evidências, cronologia, escala comunitária, organização política e conexões

Paisagens, mobilidade, intercâmbio, redes imperiais e ligações regionais

Wetlands, fields, grazing, wild resources, clay, and regional exchange shaped life on the Konya Plain.

Organização política e escala comunitária

Household and neighborhood practices are visible, but a palace, centralized state, single religion, or homogeneous ethnic government is not demonstrated.

Contextos imperiais, religiosos, de patrimônio vivo e recepção moderna

Turkish authorities and researchers conserve the site; burials and imagery require sensitive interpretation and cannot assign modern identity.

Chronology approximately 7400-6200 BCE

Occupation phases and calibrated dates continue to be refined.

Current heritage record [S1] [S2]
Political limit no demonstrated city-state

Reviewed 2026 [S2] [S3]
Human-remains limit burials require sensitive contextual study

  2. Household practices diversify

    Burials, installations, food, and craft vary through time and space.

  3. Settlement organization changes

    Population and social interpretations remain model-dependent.

  4. Site enters the World Heritage List

Cultura e língua

Famílias, agricultura, pastoreio, artesanato, trabalho, língua, crenças e mobilidade

  • No locally written language corpus

Família linguística: Unknown from Neolithic archaeology

Household-centered architecture

Wall paintings and modeled installations

Burial and subsistence evidence with preservation bias

Palaces, monuments, inscriptions, temples, churches, elite tombs, and famous authors are more visible than women, children, farmers, herders, miners, craftspeople, migrants, captives, enslaved or dependent people, and rural households. Evidence gaps must not be filled with ethnic purity, nationalist continuity, foreign-builder, lost-civilization, or simple population-replacement narratives.
