In the early Republican era, there was a brief period of building influenced by the Ottoman style before modernism set in, a style that produced pleasant and distinctive public structures. However, it is likely that the Republic would have eventually rejected Ottoman motifs entirely as they continued to distance themselves from the Ottoman Empire. This is particularly important in Konya, because it is perhaps the only large city in Turkey that still doubts its allegiance to the Republic, or perhaps, has its allegiance doubted. Little things, such as the fact that their main statue of Ataturk was converted from a figure commissioned originally for an agricultural prize, as well as the more practical point that Konya votes for the Islamic parties headed by Erbakan, tend to give support to this sceptical view.

In 2001, a seminar room was added. This set of buildings creates a community separated from the village and the town, though in contact with both. However, it is against the site rules for people just to wander around the village, and equally, as the site is in the control of the state, the villagers can not simply wander at will in the site complex.

This Hittite symbol has since the seventies been the focus of conflict between secularists and Islamists. Adopted initially as the symbol for Ankara by the left-wing, when the Islamists took control of the capital in 1994, they removed it from the municipalities stationary and adopted an overtly Islamic symbol instead. This new, Islamic symbol was found to be constitutionally illegal, but nevertheless the municipality continue to use it, even glazing tiles and building them into the structures that they have put up around the city. That the Hittite model should be overtly displayed in Ankara airport is a clear statement of dominant feeling in that institution. This is one of the most well-known examples of controversy surrounding archaeological finds, and perhaps an indication of the sort of debate that might emerge surrounding Catalhoyuk and the 'mother Goddess' figures.

Around KuCukkoy, and in other parts of the region as well, the use of deep-water pumps is extremely widespread. Some of these are sanctioned, but most are sunk without official permission. The combination of fresh water from the ground at will and extremly good soil has resulted in an agricultural boom. However, at the same time, the sinking water table implies that situation of surplus water will be only temporary.

This spot, with Kizilhoyugu in the distance along the track marks a point where a local man showed us a site that was unknown to us. Whilst many of the mounds are large, others have been levelled in the past (or were never very obstrusive), and are known only to those villager who happen to work in the land in that area. Sometimes, the villagers may have a particular idea of what used to be there. For example, one man whose father had levelled a spot told me that they thought it was a Seljuk mosque. Indeed, investigation showed that it did have Seljuk pottery. This raises a number of complex questions to do with when knowledge becomes the general property of the community as a whole, or when it is just used by a proportion of its people. Anthropologists have never really tackled this issue forcefully enough perhaps, and it is one of the reasons that makes me relunctant to posit an indigenous cultural 'map' of the region - some sites are known by all (such as Efekoy), others only by a few.

Today, it is partially dismantled to make way for a new water channel, and just as supposed, it appears to be nothing but piled earth.

Many of the mounds in the region are under threat. This is through illegal digging in part, but the most serious danger comes from the mechanisation of agriculture combined with a major redistribution of field boundaries. The new boundaries were drawn on a map, and if necessary cleared using bulldozers. This has wrecked havoc on the archaeology of the area. Here, we see Kizlarhoyugu, a pre-historic mound with its right-hand third shaved neatly off to cope with a newly laid-out field on the right. The resulting section can be seen clearly by the naked eye.
