It was sent to me by a friend, that was the link. I haven't had time yet to go and look for the actual research.
If I recall correctly Lisa is now Lisa Bender Jørgensen... won't swear to that spelling though.

Ian Hodder came to Glasgow University to do a talk on Catal Huyuk about twenty five years ago.
It seemed to us, mostly Scottish archaeologists, rather an odd dig because he didn't want specialists, he didn't want people to bring too much of their own background onto the dig. He wanted them to record not just what they found, but their own experience of finding it and their bias', etc.,
Here we expect every archaeologist to specialise to some degree.

Anyhow, interesting site, but then the Tells are.

Good article. It always amazes me how processes are discovered and used and then drop out of use and we rediscover them etc.

So much knowledge lost, even from a short while ago let alone 8000 years :D
