Introduction
In 2022 I finished my dissertation on the small finds of Nevali Cori, a PPNB site in Southeast Turkey. I focused on the subsistence economy and symbolic remains of an early village.
My master thesis treated the clay objects of Nevali Cori, dealing with early ceramic products as figurines, beads and vessels. The studies included early pyrotechnics but also plaiting and weaving since impressions of fabrics were found.
A future project will be the publication the outstanding themes of the site.

We are able to yield nuanced insights into the process of the Neolithizati...
