\u2018Special buildings\u2018 has become an often-used label in Near Eastern Archaeology for constructions deviating in architecture, elaborate inner fittings, finds and often also treatment after the end of use (intentional destruction, burial) from domestic spaces. This peculiar type of building seems to start existing during the Epipalaeolithic and the Pre-Pottery Neolithic in the region between the Levant and Upper Mesopotamia. Well-known examples come inter alia from sites like G\u00f6bekli Tepe, Jerf el Ahmar, Neval\u0131 \u00c7ori, or \u00c7atalh\u00f6y\u00fck. As Kathleen Kenyon has once aptly put it\u00a0 \u201c… archaeologists tend to call buildings, which do not conform to the usual plan of domestic houses, shrines or temples. <\/em>\u201d But is it that simple? Or do we summarize very different phenomena under one label just because they deviate from a ‘norm’ defined by archaeologists?<\/p>\n Working at G\u00f6bekli Tepe these are very important questions, and we are glad that we could gather some interesting approaches to this topic in the frame of a session at this year\u00b4s EAA Annual Meeting in Maastricht.<\/p>\n Our session (#s322) will be held on Saturday, September 2, between<\/strong> Looking forward to see you there!<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \u2018Special buildings\u2018 has become an often-used label in Near Eastern Archaeology for constructions deviating in architecture, elaborate inner fittings, finds and often also treatment after the end of use (intentional destruction, burial) from domestic spaces.
