The settlement provides important information on the architecture ofthe PPNA and PPNB periods, in particularthe architectural traditions ofthe Middle PPNB, the focus ofthis article. In addition, these remain to allow the evaluation of village-space organization. The architectural remains found at Boncuklu Tarla also provide the opportunity to compare the Middle PPNB period architecture unearthed atvarious settlements such as & Ccedil;ay & ouml;n & uuml;, Nevali & Ccedil;ori, Gritille, Tell Halula, Akar & ccedil;ay Tepe, Gre F & imath;lla and Cafer H & ouml;y & uuml;k in a regional context. This study aims to present and discuss new information on how village spatial organization changed within the PPNB period, following on from previous discussions on the PPNA period data. Especially within the Middle PPNB period, it is thought that the village spatial organization model of being centered around public buildings was abandoned at Boncuklu Tarla. It is believed that with this change the public buildings were separated from the dwellings but still influenced their spatial organization.en10.26650/anar.32.1650092info:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessPre-Pottery Neolithic BMiddle PPNBArchitectureBoncuklu TarlaAnatoliaUpper Tigris BasinArticle
