Catal Huyuk

The ancient city of Catal Huyuk in Turkey is an interesting example where the  roof was used as streets and access to each house. Shared functions such as fireplaces where distributed around the roof-tops. 
 
"The houses had flat roofs the doors were opened on the top. They entered from the roof and for going from place to place they went through their neighbors roof. Catal Huyuk is in Turkey. It was discovered in the Middle East. They cultivated wheat (the main crop) and they gathered pears, crab apples and berries. They traded obsidian which is black volcanic glass and it was vary valuable because it was used to make tools. They had everything they needed: wood, grain, cattle and mud. The houses were made out of mud bricks."
