Abstract
Abstract The inhabitants of Çatalhöyük, a 13.5 hectare Neolithic site (ca. 7100–5900 BCE) located in central Anatolia, Turkey, created material links between themselves and their past by repetitively constructing and maintaining mudbrick houses and actively retrieving skeletal remains from buried buildings. We argue that archaeological visualization is a viable tool to aid interpretation of this habituated behavior and commemorative links to the past, also known as “history making.” This study employed widely adopted methods to ensure reliability, scientific rigor, and tracking of knowledge provenance in the implementation of multi-temporal 3D reconstructions of the Shrine 10 sequence, a series of superimposed buildings spanning a significant part of the site's chronology. Our results facilitate analysis of the history-making practices documented in the Shrine 10 sequence by providing unambiguous visual representations of its complex archaeological record and enabling users to visualize the long-term history of this Neolithic built space.
