Multiple Proxies, Single Story: Integrating Stable Isotope Analysis and Wood Charcoal at Kaman-Kalehöyük, Turkey (original) (raw)

Abstract

This poster outlines the results of a detailed stable isotope analysis and wood charcoal analysis from the site of Kaman-Kalehöyük, Central Anatolia, Turkey. Generalised and multi-episodic contexts such as pits have been utilised in conjunction with multiple proxies such as pollen data, plant macrofossil assemblages, geomorphological data, ethnobotanical, ethnohistorical, and ecological analogues to reconstruct the ancient woodland landscape surrounding the site. This diachronic study encompasses occupation at the site from the Transitional Early Bronze Age (c. 2000 B.C.) to the Late Iron Age (c. 300 B.C.). However, emphasis is placed upon the Middle to Late Bronze Age periods which encompass the Hittite occupation of the site with the aim of first determining the extant woodland vegetation prior to Hittite arrival and then further investigating whether deforestation of the climax woodland vegetation occurred during or after the Hittite occupation phase. The results of the wood char...
