“Çatalhöyük, located in modern Turkey, is one of the most spectacular archaeological sites ever discovered. Complete with the remnants of countless buildings built overtop generations of other structures, amazingly well preserved wall paintings, graves, and other remnants, this Neolithic settlement excites the imagination of archaeologists and non-archaeologists alike while providing valuable insight into life in early permanent settlements.

Surprisingly enough, the history of the excavations at Çatalhöyük is almost as complex and exciting as the actual findings at the site. The list of those individuals working at the site are a virtual who's who of the archaeological world with many of these individuals pioneering new theories and methodologies while working at Çatalhöyük.
The Goddess and the Bull seeks to tell the story of Çatalhöyük in a new way, blending the history of excavations at the site with the evidence found during these investigations. Included in these accounts is a little background on the key players investigating the site giving the reader deeper insight into the archaeological significance of the site and the ground breaking research being undertaken at Çatalhöyük. ”
