Abstract

The sudden and extreme climate changes that occurred in Southwest Asia towards the end of the Last Glacial Period on a global scale, created important developments for both the natural environment and human communities. Hunter-gatherer societies trying to accommodate themselves to the natural environment in the face of these sudden changes were forced to develop several strategies to survive. For human societies organized around a common collective consciousness by blending the objective and symbolic elements; the selection and use of venue, and abstract and concrete means of information storage turned into a means of information transfer used in developing a sense of social belonging or identity as well as in determining the boundaries of cognitive development. The feasts, which were carried out in areas that functioned as collective memory spaces, the selection and processing of food needed for these feasts, and also the storage of food depending on their seasonal availability or famine conditions played an important role in domestication of plants and animals as well as the transition to settled life for the first time ever.

Özet

Küresel ölçekte Son Buzul Çağı’nın sonlarında, Güney-Batı Asya’da yaşanan ani ve aşırı iklim değişiklikleri, doğal çevre ve insan toplulukları üzerinde önemli gelişmelerin yaşanmasına neden olmuştur. Bu anideğişiklikler karşısında doğal çevreye uyum sağlamaya çalışan avcı toplayıcı topluluklar, hayatta kalabilmek için bir takım yaşam stratejileri geliştirmek zorunda kalmışlardır. Nesnel ve simgesel öğeleri ritüellerle harmanlayıp, ortak kolektif bir bilinç etrafında örgütlenen insan toplulukları için mekân seçimi vekullanımı, soyut ve somut bilgi depolama araçları, toplumsal aidiyet ya da kimlik kazanmada ve bilişselgelişimin sınırlarını belirlemede kullanılan bilgi aktarım araçları olmuştur. Ortak hafıza mekânları işlevine sahip alanlarda gerçekleştirilen ziyafet ve ziyafet için gerekli besinlerin seçilip işlenmesi, mevsimselmevcudiyet ve kıtlık durumlarına göre besinlerin depolanması, bitki ve hayvan evcilleştirilmesi yanında,ilk yerleşik hayata geçişin sağlanmasında da önemli rol oynamıştır.
