Welcome to Catalhoyuk

I've just noticed that a video shown in the visitor's center at the 9500 year old early farming site of Catalhoyuk in Turkey--the subject of my book "The Goddess and the Bull" (available in both hardback and paperback)--is now available on YouTube. The beautifully-voiced narrator is Shahina Farid, the project's field director. (The music is nice too.)

Once you finish watching this video, click below the replay screen for a number of other videos about Catalhoyuk and related topics.



Archaeology in danger: According to this report, the proposed Rosemont copper mine near Tucson, Arizona could harm archaeological sites in the area.

I have been a working journalist for more than 40 years, beginning in Los Angeles as an investigative reporter and then in Paris as a travel, food, and science writer. For more than 20 years I have covered anthropology and archaeology writer for Science, Audubon, Scientific American, SAPIENS, and other publications. I have also covered sexual misconduct for The Verge, Scientific American, and others; I write about mental health, especially schizophrenia; and I engage in occasional media criticism. I returned to the USA in October 2017 after 30 years in Paris, and now live in the New York City area, where I currently teach journalism at City College of New York (I previously taught journalism at Boston University and New York University.)
