We have considered a range of commensality in Neolithic Çatalhöyük using ceramics, animal bones, and architecture. Integrating the data allowed us to capture the change in commensal practices over the Final occupational phase (ca. 6300–5950 cal BC). The shift from community commensality to family commensality is marked by a decrease in the size of jars, accompanied by slight changes in the size of bowls. These types of vessels were used both for cooking, as shown by soot and lipid residue analysis, and for serving, as can be inferred from the more open form, apparent with the bowls. In the case of bowls, this result contrasts with previous findings suggesting that they had relevance for plant foods only. When we consider feasting events, the data on everyday commensal practice can be seen to contrast with this exceptional commensality. In both, the main role is played by cattle, which are the driver of change as the status of the taxon moves from wild to domestic. Changes in culinary and social practices are embedded in architectural changes in the form of growing number of open spaces which served as places where people could share a meal.

我们考虑了新石器时代恰塔霍裕克使用陶瓷、动物骨骼和建筑的一系列共生关系。整合数据使我们能够捕捉到最终职业阶段（约 6300-5950 cal BC）的共生实践变化。从社区共食到家庭共食的转变以罐子尺寸的减小为标志，同时碗的尺寸也略有变化。这些类型的器皿既用于烹饪（如烟灰和脂质残留分析所示），也用于服务（从更开放的形式可以推断出），如碗。就碗而言，这一结果与之前的研究结果形成对比，后者表明它们仅与植物性食物相关。当我们考虑宴会活动时，可以看到日常共餐实践的数据与这种特殊的共餐行为形成对比。同时，牛起着主要作用，随着分类单元的地位从野生转向驯养，牛是变化的驱动力。烹饪和社会实践的变化以越来越多的开放空间的形式嵌入到建筑变化中，这些开放空间成为人们可以分享美食的地方。
