description Ian Hodder Overview
Ian Hodder is a British archaeologist renowned for pioneering post-processual archaeology in the 1980s.

He directed extensive excavations at Çatalhöyük, Turkey, beginning in 1993, significantly contributing to our understanding of Neolithic settlements and complex social organization. Hodder’s research is particularly relevant for scholars and students interested in the theoretical foundations and practical applications of archaeological investigation, especially concerning early urban development.
