Variability in ancient Near Eastern environmental and agricultural development

2012-11-01

Abstract excerpt

The dynamics of Early to Middle Bronze Age agriculture are investigated by means of archaeobotany and stable carbon isotope analysis and factors leading to variation from the general trend are discussed. Although a general trend of environmental stress through increasing aridity is indicated in the stable carbon isotopes of archaeobotanical barley remains of Middle Bronze Age sites (from ca. 2000 BC), archaeobotan...
