VISUAL DESCRIPTION
The image shows a page from "The Illustrated London News," dated February 1, 1964, featuring an article titled "Archaeological Section No. 2176." The headline of the article is "Earliest of Neolithic Cities: Delving Deep into the Neolithic Region of Anatolia—Catal Huyuk. Part II—Shrines of the Vultures and the Veiled Goddess," by James Mellaart. Below this title section, there are two columns filled with dense text that appears to discuss archaeological findings related to early human settlements in Anatolia (modern-day Turkey) at Catal Huyuk. The article likely explores significant historical discoveries such as shrines and religious practices from the Neolithic period. In the center-right portion of the image is an illustration or plan labeled 'Fig. 14 Plan of Shrines E.VI., which used to be separated by street-like intervals on level VI.' This figure provides a detailed layout or map showing what seem to be individual rooms or structures within one larger complex, possibly representing some aspect of urban planning in ancient times. Given that this publication is over fifty years old, it represents both historical knowledge up until that point and also serves as a piece of historical media itself reflecting mid-20th-century perspectives on archaeology and history.
