A conference and a field trip! 🏺 At the #WorldNeolithicCongress in Türkiye, CSH researchers Dániel Kondor and Peter Turchin led a session on estimating population numbers in ancient societies. And it didn’t stop there—they visited Karahan Tepe (pictured), one of the world’s earliest-known villages.
