Document Summary

There was an earlier phase of matriarchically society. People seem to have carried out very similar tasks. Based on carbon from soot filled air breathed in by inhabitants, men spend more time outdoors. Men taller than women: variation was slight though. Women were sometimes fatter in relation to height then men: could be relevant to the fat lady in the figurine that mellaart found. Childbirth: higher rate of infant/child mortality. Naomi hamilton: suggests this was a society where sex is relatively unimportant in assigning social roles. First distinct difference: with: paintings on walls represent man and gods. Distinction of men and women found in art: but not found in what they ate.
