Çatalhöyük excavations uncover “House of the Dead” with evidence of ritual practices

Archaeologists at Çatalhöyük, one of the most important sites in central Türkiye, have unearthed new evidence of ritual activity that sheds light on early town life and spiritual practices. The site, located on the edge of the Konya Plain near the modern city of Konya, was occupied from 7100 to 5950 BCE...

Nations are not at all inevitable.

Humans lived for 100s of 1000s of years in relatively egalitarian settlements, including of up to 1000s.

But patriarchy took over (that took 2500 yrs) & invented class hierarchy (born enslaved, die enslaved), which many first-nations people eschew.

Archeological and historical evidence matters here. Check out Catalhoyuk, eg, & Gerda Lerner's The creation of patriarchy.

DNA reveals female-centered society in 9,000-year-old Neolithic city of Çatalhöyük

Recent genetic research has shed light on the social structure of Çatalhöyük, a large Neolithic settlement in the center of Turkey that flourished over 9,000 years ago. A study published in Science confirms long-standing speculations that women were at the center of this ancient society...

Another passion of mine is the history of #Çatalhöyük site - and whether or not it had a #MatriachalSociety!

Ancient city possibly ruled by females living in a "matriarchal society" more than 9,000 years ago, researchers say

By Cara Tabachnick

Excerpt: "We need to move away from our Western bias that assumes all societies are #patrilineal. Many cultures, including some #IndigenousAustralian groups, pass identity, land rights, and responsibilities through the mother's line — a #matrilineal system,' study co-author Dr. Eline Schotsmans, a research fellow at Australia's University of Wollongong's School of Science, said in a statement.

"These findings come several months after researchers studying social networks in #CelticSociety in Britain before the #RomanInvasion gathered genetic evidence from a late Iron Age cemetery and found that women were closely related, while unrelated men tended to come into the community from elsewhere, likely after marriage.

"Using an examination of ancient DNA recovered from 57 graves in #Dorset in southwest England, their study, published in the journal Nature, shows that two-thirds of the individuals were descended from a single maternal lineage. This suggests that women had some control of land and property, as well as strong social support, researchers said.

"Researchers said upon the release of their findings, 'It is possible that maternal ancestry was the primary shaper of group identities.' "

Major paper on kinship and burial practices at #Çatalhöyük

The study fused 'rich archaeological data with a paleogenomic dataset of 131 individuals buried in 35 houses...

'Comparing genetic ties within and between buildings, we found that the maternal lineage had a key role in connecting Çatalhöyük household members, as represented by burials within each building. We estimated that 70 to 100% of the time, female offspring remained connected to buildings, whereas adult male offspring may have moved away. We also discovered preferential treatment of female infant and child burials, with five times more grave goods offered to females than to males.'

'...Through time, the genetic composition of house burials became less homogeneous. In later periods, we found groups of neonates who were genetically unrelated but buried in the same house.'

"These results don’t prove women ruled this #prehistoric hill, but the evidence for matrilocality and matrilineality do suggest the people of #Çatalhöyük at least partly organized their society along gender lines. 'None of these concepts necessarily imply matriarchy, but they do point towards women’s autonomy and power in certain spheres of #Neolithic life,' says University College of London archaeologist #DavidWengrow, who was not involved with the research.

There's bit of discussion about wether freshly published #aDNA 🏺🧬 data from #Catalhöyük allows talking about a matrilineally organised Neolithic community there or not - and well, of course I couldn't help but join having an opinion:
