Neolithic House / In-House Burials
Catalhoyuk was a neolithic proto-city which existed from approximately 7,500 to 5,700 BC, and flourished around 7,000 BC. As can be observed in this replica of a Catalhoyuk house hosted at the Museum of Anatolian Civilizations, how we live has not changed all that much in 9,000 years. How the dead were buried is a different story. Remains were placed under burial pits inside the house and sealed with clay and plaster. More on Catalhoyuk burials...
