Ian Hodder's The Leopard's Tale: Revealing the Mysteries of Catalhoyuk, published by Thames and Hudson in 2006, is a scholarly account of the excavation and interpretation of the Neolithic site of Catalhoyuk by the archaeologist who has directed its long running excavation project. Its authority rests on Hodder's direct role leading the dig and his standing as a leading theorist of archaeological interpretation. Written for a broad readership as well as specialists, it presents Hodder's own interpretive framework for the site's symbolism, which remains one reading among others in an active and still developing area of Neolithic archaeology.
