No evidence of violence. No arrows in anybody, no knife wounds. Wow.

Too bad we can’t be this way.

The construction is interesting. As with a lot of Mesolithic and Neolithic towns, the domiciles backed up to the de facto city wall (no windows on that side). At Catalhoyuk the ‘streets’ were the roofs of the houses, and the entrance doubled as the smoke-hole.

As these guys note, there were no formal cemetery outside of town, as far as is known. The family dead were buried in the floor of the home. The Sumerians did the same thing. It seems odd, but it worked for thousands of years, so I’ll cut ‘em some slack. :^)
