Talk:Nevalı Çori

Update
' The head of a pottery female figurine of the smarran culture (6000 to 5500 BC). The hairstyle, a long plait wound over the top of the head, is similar to those of the later Sumerian civilization'' -- John Haywood. The Encyclopedia of Ancient Civilizations of the Near East and Mediterranean, pg. 20; Michael Roaf. The Cultural Atlas of Mesopotamia and the Ancient Near East, pg. 48'''

'''This shows that hair plaits were a Mesopotamian fashion for ~4000 years (6000 to 2000 BC). Retrojecting backwards, they were a fashion thousands of years earlier.'''

THUS, the statue found at Neveli Cori does NOT have a SNAKE on its head, but an early PLAIT, a fad that endured for most of a MYRIAD (10Ky). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.143.68.244 (talk) 06:08, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

Hello, anyone here? Seems to have been a long time since anyone looked at this. Anyway, I incorporated the old english version with much information from the current German one. Hope that no-one objects. athinaios 16:41, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

Suggest less academic language
An encyclopedia article, I would have thought, would be aimed an a general population. Given that, the person who wrote the following, (quoted from the article in the section titled "dates"), might consider moving this information--"second half of the 9th millennium BC"--to the front of the section from its current position near the end.

"Nevalı Çori could be placed within the local relative chronology on the basis of its flint tools. The occurrence of narrow unretouched Byblos-type points places it on Oliver Aurenche's Phase 3, which, i.e. early to middle PPNB. Some tools indicate continuity into Phase 4, which is similar in date to Late PPNB. An even finer chronological distinction within Phase 3 is permitted by the settlement's architecture; the house type with underfloor channels, typical of Nevalı Çori strata I-IV, also characterises the "Intermediate Layer" at Çayönü, while the differing plan of the single building in stratum V, House 1, is more clearly connected to the buildings of the "Cellular Plan Layer" at Çayönü.

In terms of absolute dates, 4 radiocarbon dates have been determined for Nevalı Çori. Three are from Stratum II and date it with some certainty to the second half of the 9th millennium BC, which coincides with early dates from Çayönü and with Mureybet IVA and thus supports the relative chronology above. The fourth dates to the 10th millennium, which, if correct, would indicate the presence of an extremely early phase of PPNB at Nevalı Çori."

Picture
I fail to see how the picture provided represents a hunting scene as the caption claims. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.216.72.91 (talk) 09:20, 30 August 2015 (UTC)

name
"Nevalı Çori (Turkish: Nevali Çori)" is confusing. The first word, missing the dot over the 'i', must be Turkish, no? So what is the part in brackets? And as this is English Wikipedia, wouldn't the title of the article be in English? --142.163.195.212 (talk) 14:19, 30 December 2020 (UTC)
