Boncuklu Tarla (Mardin), Turkey. Near Eastern Neolithic Archi­tecture (NENA). The case of Boncuklu Tarla. Season 2021

Abstract

Despite the fact that the architecture is one of the most prominent features of the Near Eastern Neolithic, there has not yet been a well-established ­research group dealing with it. This desideratum has prompted us to initiate NENA to exchange findings, interpretations, terminologies, technologies and sites. As part of NENA, excavation projects are supported in the field to ­document and study Neolithic architecture. In this framework an early ­Neo­lithic building at Boncuklu Tarla/Southeast-Turkey was investigated in 2021.
