The wall paintings of CÌ§atalhoÌyuÌk (Turkey) : materials, technologies and artists
Neolithic site of CÌ§atalhoÌyuÌk (Turkey) presents the most detailed and the interesting story up to date on Neolithic art and technologies both for the prehistoric archaeology and the material science studies. CÌ§atalhoÌyuÌk wall paintings are significant in terms of understanding the ideas of beliefs, rituality, symbolism and the social organization within the Neolithic community as well as the development of Neolithic wall art, since there are no other Neolithic sites at which the wall paintings were found of a similar scale in sizes and varieties in representations. However the technological processes which these paintings were created by did not seem to be interconnected with the discussions on the social aspects. The constantly developing field of material science has proved that the social studies on these paintings would not be complete without the study of their technologies which ultimately created these images. For the first time, this research aims to investigate primarily the technological make up of these paintings in detail and tie up the previous studies on the CÌ§atalhoÌyuÌk pigments and plasters within a broader technological and social context. The nature of wall painting production
