    The Braidwood Vising Scholar Lecture
    One of the great things about an archaeological perspective is the ability to examine social developments and social practices at a range of temporal and spatial scales simultaneously. The Institute for the Study of Ancient Cultures welcomes Douglas Baird for a lecture that explores the development of the Neolithic in the Konya plain, based on c. 20 years of excavations at the sites of Pınarbașı and Boncuklu, the later apparently a direct antecedent of Çatalhöyük. This lecture allows a focus the contemporaneous adoption of variable sedentary practices, small-scale cultivation and herding and in some cases avoidance of farming by early Neolithic communities. The role of the development of distinct community identities within such networks of diverse proximate communities will be evaluated, as will more intimate and specific household and individual histories and identities, ritual and ancestral practices within these longer-term developments.

    Amazing talk and work. Totally understand why people rebuilt in the same location for purely practical reasons. Will definitely listen to this again to fully absorb and think about all this. Love the little bear.

    Very good lecture! Thank You very much. If only the little screen didn't block the diagrams in the bottom right corner it would have been even better than it was.

    Do we need to see the speaker? It blocks the slides. Sorry to whine.

    Great, apart from the spelling of _Bolboschoenus._
