Summary
Long-term environmental and land-use changes at Gordion, Turkey, are revealed through detailed botanical analysis. The study identifies shifts in vegetation patterns, agricultural practices, and economic activities over centuries, providing insights into the site's ecological history and human adaptation. By analyzing archaeobotanical remains, researchers reconstructed past landscapes, uncovering evidence of crop cultivation, grazing, and forest management. This work advances understanding of both the botanical evolution of western Asia and the socio-economic dynamics at Gordion, a key archaeological site in central Anatolia.
