The construction of Neolithic corporate identities is explored through various perspectives. An introduction sets the stage, followed by a discussion on the evolutionary context of these identities. The human palaeoecology of Southwest Asia during the Early Pre-Pottery Neolithic is examined, focusing on the role of plants. The societal and economic aspects of Neolithic corporate identities in the Near East are analyzed, alongside the dynamics of movement and identity evolution in the late Epipalaeolithic Natufian period. The construction of community in Southern Jordan's Early Neolithic is also addressed. The display of socioeconomic politics related to Neolithic commodification is highlighted, as well as the assessment of supra-household cooperation in crop production at Çatalhöyük. Changing symbols and media are discussed, emphasizing the significance of cultural memory, monuments, and rituals in sustaining group identity. Key issues surrounding religion and materialism in the formation of corporate identities are presented. Lastly, markers of corporate identities, such as dress codes, hairstyles, and body art in Upper Mesopotamia, are examined, along with an analysis of the “Media Revolution” at Göbekli Tepe.
