People have always had to deal with death and the bodies of people who have died. How would that have changed as people moved into settled communities? What did the people in Çatalhöyük do?

2nd part)
The Çatalhöyük people dealt with death by bounding the person tightly, in a flexed position. And burying them underneath the floors of the houses, so just a simple grave.

1st part) People deal with death differently, so when someone goes into a settled community with a different way of death will seem weird and creepy. So to fit in, they would probably change it. Or they will be shamed, avoided, even killed.
