Love after Death

Çatal Höyük which existed from approximately 7500 BCE to 5700 BCE. It is the largest and best preserved Neolithic site found to date

In an article in the Turkish Daily News Hodder is reported as "When we look at what they eat and drink and at their social statues, we see that men and women had the same social status. There was a balance of power. Another example is the skulls found. If one's social status was of high importance in Çatalhöyük, the body and head were separated after death. The number of female and male skulls found during the excavations is almost equal."
