The first volume in many years to synthesise results from the Çatalhöyük Research Project. The volume reports on the exciting new discoveries and advances that are being made in the understanding of the 9000 year-old Neolithic site of Çatalhöyük, what has long been central to debates about early village societies and the
formation of 'mega-sites' in the Middle East. Methodological advances that have been made by team members, including the development of reflexive methods, paperless recording on site, the integrated use of 3D visualisation, and interactive
archives are also discussed. The volume includes analyses of the social networks that underpin the assembling of data.
