Interior, Features, Neolithic, Buildings, Bilad al-Sham and AnatoliaAbstract
The entry of human into the stage of producing sustenance and food through his practice of agriculture and then the domestication of animals has led to great transformations and developments in various aspects, such as economic, social, intellectual and religious. This research deals with some architectural features associated with buildings that had a religious function during this period. The most common features were benches, alcoves and vertical cavities within walls which date back to Pre-Pottery Neolithic “A” period.
