Abstract

This article is concerned with the social processes involved in the formation of large agglomerated villages in the Neolithic of the Near East and Anatolia, with particular reference to Çatalhöyük in central Turkey. The article aims to show that practice theories (dealing with how social rules are learned in daily practice within the house) can be used to interpret the patterning of recurrent construction and use activities within domestic space at Çatalhöyük. The regulation of social practices in the house created village-wide social rules, but it is argued that the habituated behavior was also commemorative and involved in the construction of social memory. Sitewide and house-based specific memories are documented at Çatalhöyük. The evidence for habituated practice and social memory at other sites is briefly discussed, and is argued to be relevant for the formation of settled agricultural societies.

Resumen

Resumen

Este artículo se refiere a los procesos sociales implicados en la formación de grandes aglomeraciones aldeanas en el neolítico del Cercano Oriente y de Anatolia, con particular referencia a Catalhoyuk en Turquía central. Se pretende mostrar que la teoría de la acción práctica (relacionada a la forma en que las reglas sociales pueden ser aprendidas en la práctica diaria dentro de las residencias) puede ser utilizada para interpretar patrones recurrentes de construcción y actividades de uso dentro de los espacios domésticos en Catalhoyuk. La regulación de prácticas sociales en espacios domésticos creó reglas sociales que funcionaban a nivel aldeano pero, se arguye, este comportamiento habituado era también conmemorativo e implicaba la construcción de la memoria social. Expresiones específicas de memoria son documentadas en las viviendas de Catalhoyuk y a nivel de sitio. Se discute brevemente la evidencia de prácticas habituales y memoria social en otros sitios y se argumenta sobre su relevancia en laformación de sociedades sedentarias y agrícolas.
