Volume 4 deals with various aspects of the habitation of Çatalhöyuek.
Part A embarks on a discussion of the relationship between the site and
its environment, using a wide range of evidence from faunal and charred
archaeobotanical remains. Part B looks at evidence from human remains
which inform us about diet and lifestyle, as well as wider issues of
population dynamics and social structure, including a consideration of
population size. Part C looks at the sediments at Çatalhöyuek, exploring
ways in which houses and open spaces in the settlement were lived in. In
all of these ways, a picture is built up of the way in which people
moved through and lived in the natural and cultural environment of the
places we subsume under the name of 'Çatalhöyuek'.
