This chapter locates the book within the last two decades of conferences on the Anatolian Neolithic and early farming in general, and its important role for Southwestern Asian and European Prehistory. It further outlines several key themes addressed by all individual chapters. These are the general chronological framework based on radiocarbon dating vs. the divergent culture historical phasing; the process of Neolithization as the spread of the Neolithic out of its core area of domestication of animals and plants in the Fertile Crescent; cooking and food habits as new ways of not only making, but also serving, displaying, consuming and storing food and drink; the role of climate and subsequent environmental change between ca. 6600 and 6000 cal BC. Finally, the chapter summarizes the individual contributions along the structure of the book.
