Reviews
'... an introduction by Hodder (Stanford Univ.), which presents the central problem of paleocognition and the Catalhoeyuk 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 Catalhoeyuk 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.'
