Consciousness, Creativity, and Self at the Dawn of Settled Life by Ian Hodder
Over recent years, a number of scholars have argued that the human mind underwent a cognitive revolution in the Neolithic. The proposed volume seeks to test these claims at the Neolithic site of Catalhoyuk in Turkey and in other Neolithic contexts in the Middle East.
' an introduction by Hodder (Stanford Univ), which presents the central problem of paleocognition and the Catalhoyuk site, the cognitive scientists consider whether cultural change could cause or encourage cognitive change, while the archaeologists look at various classes of artifacts and their distributions in time and space at Catalhoyuk and other Neolithic sites in the Near East to see if their changes could be related to cognitive changes in the people who made and used them.' L. L. Johnson, Association of American Publishers
