For at least 25 generations Asikli community lived at the same spot, in semi subterranean oval buildings, then through time changed to rectangular, mud-brick houses. Entrances to the buildings were through an opening on ther roof by the help of a wooden ladder. They buried their deads in pits dug under the floor of their houses. They has a communal way of living, used middens and activity areas collectively, as well as the special purpose buildings (at display under the protective roof shelter) that served for their rituals and ceremonies.
