Mellaart 1964: 61 ff; 1967; 169. So far. only two headless skeletons have been excavated by the
Hodder projeet at Qatalhöyük: skeleton (1466) in grave F.29, Building 1, and skeleton (4593) in
Grave F.492, Building 6. In both decapitation burials it is inferred that the heads were removed
after burial. See Hodder - Cessford 2004: 35: Andrews - Molleson - Boz 2005: ü'ü/ff.; Cessford

1. PREHISTORIC ÄNATOLIA
The head was identified with a man’s personality, hence the special treatment of
the skull, ln one such burial from Cafer Höyük, the facial part of the skull was coated
With plaster. The custom of whitewashing the bones or painting them with red ocher
And more seldom with green or blue pigments — perhaps the strengest evidence for
secondary burial — has been recorded at many Neolithic sites. Düring excavations
at Qatalhöyük in 1961-1963 and 1966, James Mellaart found 21 skeletons painted
With ocher, mainly in the older layers (XI—VI) of the settlement from the first half
Of the seventh millennium BC (out of a total of 480 burials discovered in layers XI-
I). Kauri shells were placed in the eye sockets of one of the female burials/ 0 There
Is no eine so far as to why only selected individuals were accorded special treatment
After death.
The skull separated from the re st of the skeleton played an important role in
‘26
Ancestor cult. Skulls could be buried separately or eise they could literally accom-
Pany the living villagers in their everyday existence. Simiiariy as in the Levant, in
Nahal Hemar 2 * or Jericho for example, they could be deposited a few or a dozen or
so together. In the Skull House at Qayönü Tepesi (see below) sorne scores of skulls
Placed together stand in confirmation of the dead being treated as if they consti-
Tuted a community. Eight skulls were buried under the floor of one of the houses in
Layer 3 at Nevali Cori. Also from the Pre-Pottery Neolithic layers at Hacilar there
Are skulls buried beneath the floors or eise placed on the floor, offen nearby a hearth.
At Qatalhöyük, a grave in house 42 from layer V, discovered in 2004, contained
28
a complete skeleton ‘holding in its arms’ a white-plastered skull. At Kö§k Höyük
Near Bor Southwest of Nigde, five plastered skulls were found to date in layer 3 of
The late Neolithic,“ including a chiid’s skull covered with white plaster and painted
Red, which was buried under the floor of one of the houses, and another one cover
Ed with red plaster which lay on the floor; its eye sockets had been inlaid with
black stones. " These finds, as well as the said female burial from Qatalhöyük with
