Description
3-D reconstruction of Çatalhöyük, South Area, Building 6 phase 3, which was built directly above the latest phase of Building 17. The building had been already explored by Mellaart as Shrine VIII.10, but only its last occupation horizon was exposed at that time. Mellaart was dubious regarding the interpretation of this building as a ‘shrine’, as it seemed to lack the symbolic elaboration shown by its successors. More recent excavations undertaken in the 1990s revealed limited evidence of paintings (only monochromatic red panels in the northwestern corner of the main room) and uncovered ten burials. The model ofBuilding 6.3 features an oven located in the dirty area in the south. To notice the absence of the hearth, which was instead located in the side room, and multiple crawl holes to access the storage room
