I find your explanation too much emotive and a little bit phanatical about asserting that the rest of the painting in the wall known as Catalhoyuc map is not a map, giving more value to the “vision ” of the people that everywhere see “abstract art patterns” than to the “vision” of people that everywhere see maps I think that there is not any reazonable argument to do what you do .If you look into the concept of posible conception (lucien goldman) you will find that in communication processes what you get from a message like the “catalhoyuk map” (ie abstract art or a map or a tiger or stars ) is influenced by your personal experience so please keep looking at the map as your posible conception allows you and give other people the same right. respectfully Carlos Salman Gonzalez ( from mexico)

Catalhoyuk is such an important site in archeological terms, from neolithic mounds to the evidence for early domesticated farming and sheep herding. Not only this but the artistic evidence too like this “map” – amazing.

Hi Piter
The blog is meant to be a supplement to the book (“Making Maps” – thus some of the categories on the blog are tied to specific book chapters) and is a way for me to share interesting map information I have accumulated over the years. I try to post material that is not on the web, or difficult to find, or is just interesting to me.
