SETTLEMENTS AND BUILDINGS OF ASIAN NEOLITHIC

Summary/Abstract: It is about Neolithic sites and buildings (houses) – in this article, we will return to a period which is previous to the birth of Architecture as an artistic field. As a geographic area, the Asian one is our target, having its specificity and also its similarities with the phenomenon that happened in the Europe of those times. We will see how the expansion of communities and especially the sedentariness of hunters-pickers will ask for the appearance of territorial organization, and also the habit of fortifying sites, and also the spring of a true science regarding building one’s dwelling house – the centre of activities and of the entire life of Neolithic man.
