I also love Mellaart’s classification of all things Roman as “F.R.M.” – Filthy Roman Muck! Some of the most famous finds from James Mellaart’s dig at Çatalhöyük are in the impressive Museum of Anatolian Civilizations in Ankara, well worth a visit. The project also has a (relatively) new Creative Commons- licensed website. It’s certain to cause some healthy debates, and critics will undoubtedly ask whether the project’s ‘reflexive field methodology’ has lived up to its promise.

Ian Hodder’s own book on the project aimed at a wider audience should also be out this year with Thames & Hudson. Similarly, Michael Balter in his essay, The Goddess and the Bull, also devoted to the same contested archaeological site, claims that Gimbutas suffers from. However, when it’s as well-written as this one, it’s a highly efficient way of reaching people outside of the discipline, and even enlightening some of those within who wouldn’t normally be interested in this kind of site or its methodology. I’m as much fascinated by biography as an archaeological genre as I’m troubled by its pitfalls. I recently read Michael Balter’s biography of the Çatalhöyük dig – “The Goddess and the Bull”.
