Located in central Anatolia (present-day Turkey) near the confluence of the Porsuk and Sakarya rivers, Gordion also lies on historic trade routes between east and west as well as north to the Black Sea. Favorably situated for long-distance trade, Gordion's setting is marginal for agricultural cultivation but well suited to pastoral production. It is therefore not surprising that with the exception of a single Chalcolithic site, the earliest settlements in the region are fairly late-they date to the Early Bronze Age (late 3rd millennium B.C.). The earliest known levels of Gordion, too, date to the Early Bronze Age, and occupation of at least some part of the site was nearly continuous through at least Roman times (second half of the 1st century B.C.).This work is a contribution to both the archaeobotany of west Asia and the archaeology of the site of Gordion. The book's major concern is understanding long-term changes in the environment and in land use. An important finding, with implications for modern land management, is that the most sustainable use of this landscape involves mixed farming of dry-farmed cereals, summer-irrigated garden crops, and animal husbandry. The large number of samples from the 1988-89 seasons analyzed here make this a rich source for understanding other materials from the Gordion excavations and for comparison with other sites in west Asia.Content of this book's CD-ROM may be found online at this location: http://core.tdar.org/project/376588.University Museum Monograph, 131 410 0$aUniversity Museum monograph.$pGordion special studies ;$vv. 5. 410 0$aUniversity Museum monograph ;$v131. 606 $aExcavations (Archaeology)$zTurkey$zGordion (Extinct city) 606 $aPlant remains (Archaeology)$zTurkey$zGordion (Extinct city) 606 $aLand use$zTurkey$zGordion (Extinct city) 606 $aAgriculture$zTurkey$zGordion (Extinct city) 606 $aLandscape changes$zTurkey$zGordion (Extinct city) 607 $aGordion (Extinct city)$xAntiquities 607 $aGordion (Extinct city)$xEnvironmental conditions 607 $aTurkey$xAntiquities 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aExcavations (Archaeology) 615 0$aPlant remains (Archaeology) 615 0$aLand use 615 0$aAgriculture 615 0$aLandscape changes 676 $a939/.26 700 $aMiller$b Naomi Frances$01031910 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910463659203321 996 $aBotanical aspects of environment and economy at Gordion, Turkey$92456303 997 $aUNINA
