Volume 4 deals with various aspects of the habitation of Catalhoyuk. Part A embarks on discussion of the relationship between the site and its environment, using a wide range of evidence from faunal and charred archaeobotanical remains. Part B looks at evidence from human remains which inform us about diet and lifestyle, as well as wider issues of population dynamics and social structure, including a consideration of population size. Part C looks at the sediments at Catalhoyuk, exploring ways in which houses and open spaces in the settlement were lived in. In all these ways, a picture is built up of the way in which people moved through and lived in the natural and cultural environment of the places we subsume under the name of 'Catalhoyuk'.
