Marston publishes open-access article in Antiquity
John M. Marston and Lorenzo Castellano (UCLA) have published a new open-access article in Antiquity, titled “Climate, political economy and agriculture in first and second millennia AD Anatolia”. In this article, Marston and Castellano draw on a comprehensive synthesis of published archaeobotanical data from Anatolia (modern Turkey), as well as integrated palynological and zooarchaeological evidence, to reconstruct agricultural strategies between the Roman and Ottoman periods and explore the role of political economy and climate behind observed agricultural changes.
