The biggest Neolithic settlement yet discovered has yielded archaeology that uncovered a Neolithic world unknown to archaeologists. The square Neolithic houses at Catalhoyuk were built tightly packed together. There were few spaces between the Catalhoyuk ( Çatalhöyük ) houses, and these appear to have been used as communal rubbish middens. Household waste such as animal bones from butchery, plant remains from cooking and broken pottery was disposed of here. Some of the spaces show evidence of having been used as pens for animals such as sheep and goats. Activities such as digging for building material and winnowing of grain took place at the edge of Catalhoyuk. There were also larger rubbish dumps here, next to the marshes that surrounded the site. The buildings of Catalhoyuk were built from sun-dried mud bricks and a lime or clay mortar. The roofs, supported by internal timber posts, were made up of thickly layered clay. Current theories suggest that some of the day to day activities such as cooking and food preparation took place on top of the roofs as well as inside. Many of the interior walls of the houses of Catalhoyuk were decorated with frescoes depicting vultures, hunting scenes, ceremonies, leopards and geometric designs. Many original and recreations can be seen in this Catalhoyuk artwork page.
