• A small group of exotic obsidian blades supplied from over 600km distant reached a particular area of the East Mound at C¸ at Çatalhöyük in the Early Ceramic Neolithic (7000-6300 cal BC).

  The authors explore a variety of explanations and contexts, including changes in technology, agricultural expansion, gift exchange, bride-wealth and incomers from the east.
