To date, there have been significant advances in studying the formation of the Neolithic way of life in Western Asia in technological and methodological terms, in the accumulation of factual material and its conceptual understanding. However, the data on Tell Magzalia are not always taken into account in the consolidated works devoted to the neolithization of Western Asia. This seems to be connected with the absence of a series of radiocarbon dates from Tell Magzalia and, to an even greater extent, with the absence of other studied sites comparable in their occupational period with Tell Magzalia in the Northern Iraqi centre of neolithization. The article discusses the place of Tell Magzalia within the system of early Neolithic settlements of Northern Mesopotamia and neighbouring territories using data obtained over the past decades.

We describe general trends in the content of rituals across the early sedentary period. One key theme appears to have been procreation, fertility, and prosperity. Monumental stelae and pillars of this period in Upper Mesopotamia, while depicting zoo-anthropomorphic deities, might also themselves referenced a male procreative force. The shift to sedentism likely contributed to worship of deities associated with specific locations and human groups. The Northern Mesopotamian archaeological record also hints at totemic beliefs typical of hunting-gathering societies, and differing from those practiced by the early farmers. Religious innovations of this period appear (albeit in transformed fashion) in later cultures of the Ancient Near East, as attested by both archaeological and written sources.

The paper deals with the issues of social interaction and power management in the hunter-gatherer communities of the Fertile Crescent which were in the process of transition to the sedentary way of life. Architectural and decorative
evidence from public buildings erected for religious purposes reflects the social structure of well-organized groups, which were ideologically united around their leaders and dominated by men. The development of new mechanisms and means of social interaction helped to mitigate social tension and establish predominantly contractual mutually beneficial relationships both within and among growing human communities.

The following periods are determined: 1) fieldwork started by Robert Breidwood and his colleagues, based on theoretical insights of Vere Gordon Childe and carried out in the context of formation of functional and processual theories; 2) formation of psycho- and socio-cultural approaches, in particular Jacques Cowen's theory of the "Neolithic revolution of symbols", in interaction with the ideas of post-processual archeology; 3) expansion of applied methods and research approaches, as well as an increased number of the studied monuments and areas at the present stage, clarification of previously proposed theoretical positions and emergence of new promising developments in the study of mental, spiritual and socio-ideological transformations of early Neolithic communities.

Качественные психологические трансформации человека и социума в данный период исторического развития археологически фиксируются благодаря различным свидетельствам, в том числе по-явлению многочисленных символически оформленных объектов. На примере изучения символических систем Северной Месопотамии рассматриваются возможности определения характера идеологии и действовавших концептов общественного сознания, утверждавшихся в эпоху раннего голоцена. Психосоциальные трансформации рассматриваются как важная часть процесса неолитизации на территории Ближнего Востока. The present article discusses the problems of studies of ideology, rite and symbolic systems as the mechanisms of formation and maintenance of communal identity in prehistoric societies. These problems are here analyzed with employment of the psychosocial and other approaches on the example of materials of the Pre-Pottery eolithic of Levant and orthern Mesopotamia. The qualitative psychological transformation of man and socium during the period under consideration is traceable through different categories of evidence including the appearance of numerous symbolically marked objects. Following the example of studies of symbolical systems of orthern Mesopotamia, the possibilities of characterization of ideology and current concepts of social conscience established during the early Holocene are discussed. Psychosocial transformations are here considered as an important constituent of the process of eolitization in the Middle East.
