What is a early complex village?

An early complex village refers to a settlement that emerged during the Neolithic period, characterized by a higher degree of social organization, specialized roles, and often agricultural practices. These villages typically featured permanent structures, communal facilities, and evidence of trade, indicating a more sophisticated social structure compared to nomadic or simple communities. They laid the groundwork for the development of larger urban centers and more complex societies. Examples include sites like Çatalhöyük in Turkey and Jericho in the Levant.
