Summary
The long, uninterrupted sequence of Neolithic Yumuktepe displays both continuity and changes concerning architecture, burial customs, artifact production, storage techniques and subsistence pattern throughout the entire Neolithic, and also around 6000 cal BC. This chapter describes the continuities, gradual and abrupt changes that can be observed, and approaches the questions whether continuity should be emphasized over change, how noncontemporary changes can be correlated, and changes of which parts of the material culture could be more significant than continuity in other parts.
