TL;DR: In the Neolithic megasite at Catalhoyuk families lived side by side in conjoined dwellings, like a pueblo as discussed by the authors, and it can be assumed that people were always in and out of each others' houses - in this case via the roof.

TL;DR: An extensive programme of AMS-dating of charred broomcorn millet grains from 75 prehistoric sites in Europe provides a new, high-resolution chronological framework for this key agricultural development that likely contributed to far-reaching changes in lifestyle in late 2nd millennium bc Europe.

TL;DR: Application of this new model of cereal cultivation intensity based on weed ecology and crop isotope values in Haute Provence and Asturias to Neolithic archaeobotanical assemblages in central Europe suggests that early farming tended to be intensive, and likely incorporated manuring, but also exhibited considerable variation, providing a finer grained understanding of cultivation intensity than previously available.

TL;DR: This paper used panarchy theory to frame an understanding of Catalhoyuk's long-term sustainability, arguing that its resilience was a function of three key factors: its diverse initial crop spectrum, which acted as an archive for later innovations; its modular social structure, enabling small-scale experimentation and innovation in cropping at the household level; and its agglomerated social morphology, allowing successful developments to be scaled up across the wider community.

TL;DR: In a restricted zone of the excavated area, vertical stratification of burial and occupation features yielded evidence about the use of the site in the period that is contemporaneous with Phase I-II at Lepenski Vir, the Mesolithic-Neolithic transition phase in this region, ca. 6200-5900 cal b.c..
