The near wetland habitats (lake or marshlands) were important to the site (--> wetland plants/phytoliths/carbonized fragments of reeds, sedge and other plants; also micro-faunal evidence like voles, amphibians, wetland birds); also close was a steppe, probably in the Konya Plain (--> equid as hunted species)\r\n3 trenches were excavated; trench D was almost 80 cm deep --> intensity and longevity of this site;\r\ntrenches A and D encompassed structures and features of the 9th millennium, but no structure was completely excavated, so no complete ground plans exist as of yet. Curvilinear plaster lined cuts were found, some structures had superstructures of wattle and daub (structural debris consisting of clay or marl lumps with impressions of reed and weed indicate it);\r\nBuilding 3 in Area D was oval/apsidal, 1,6 x 1,4 m, with plastered floors and sides (thick layer of plaster, approx. 7 times plastered with local marl?). It had floors with \"stake holes\" from reed structures or pegs (inserted in floor while it was still wet) for furnishing or pegging mats; flecks of red ochre were found on some floors, occasional daub elements were in the fill, which could indicate a wattle and daub superstructure like Building 5 in Area A had; a substantial quernstone was upturned on the structure's floor; an earlier building with a red ochre floor preceded building 3 in Area A;\r\nin Area A also was a part of a structure (Building 5), with a dished plaster floor (Space 4) that was plastered 2 times and a hearth approx. in the center of the structure, a sub-oval plaster basin, a substantial stone seat or work surface, and a small pit; there was structural daub debris with wood and reed impressions over the final floor (seems to be collapse of a wattle and daub superstructure);\r\nIn conclusion, common on this site were curvilinear, partly sunken, plastered structures and wattle and daub superstructures with fixtures for furnishing --> those point to a significant investment in the site and a long-term or regular use. \r\n\r\nMortuary practices: parts of a small cemetery were discovered in Area A, from the later phases of the 9th millennium; the burial-levels were eroded, but they were probably not buried under house floors (like A\u015f\u0131kl\u0131 and \u00c7atalh\u00f6y\u00fck).\r\ne.g. Burial 10: a flexed articulated adult male who lay on his side, with a distinctive microlithic point close to his lower leg;\r\nBurial 6: tightly bundled partially articulated female (adult, 18-20 years) with commingled skeletal elements; this burial was close to the articulated burial of a 10-year old (excavated in 1994), buried with a cake of red ochre. \r\nThere was another burial from the earlier phases of Area A.\r\nIn the early phases of Area D, there were different mortuary practices than in Area A: fragmentary remains of three individuals grouped closely together (two sub-adults, an adult, only partially articulated);\r\n\r\nTool Kits: Obsidian dominates (ca 80%), much lesser chert/flint. The cores were brought to the settlement partially reduced, but intensive further reduction on site; typical: bidirectional cores, many irregular and much reduced --> mainly bladelets produced in reduction sequence, but final removals were typically flakes; also 2 naviform cores;\r\nbigger bladelets were turned into elongated microliths, using the micro-burin technique --> lots of micro-burins.", "cemetery_or_graves_mortuary_features": [], "grave_sexes": [], "area_type": 4, "earliest_datedated_by": [], "latest_date_calibration": null, "latest_date_delta13": null, "earliest_date_date_of_calibration": null, "radiocarbon_dated": "yes", "period_reference": ["5CVBHA5J", "7JWRW7JH", "BU7965JP"], "grave_age_groups": [], "grave_number_of_not_specified_sex": null, "latest_datedated_by": []}}]
