This book publishes the results of 220 botanical samples from the
1993-2002 Gordion excavations directed by Mary Voigt. Together with
Naomi Miller's 2010 volume (Gordion Special Studies 5), this book
completes the publication of botanical samples from Voigt's
excavations. The book aims to reconstruct agricultural decision
making using archaeological and paleoenvironmental data from
Gordion to describe environmental and agricultural changes at the
site. John M. Marston argues that different political and economic
systems implemented over time at Gordion resulted in patterns of
agricultural decision making that were well adapted to the social
setting of farmers in each period, but that these practices had
divergent environmental impacts, with some regimes sponsoring
sustainable agricultural practices and others leading to
significant environmental change. The implications of this book are
twofold: Gordion will now be one of the best published agricultural
datasets from the entire Near East and, thus, serve as a valuable
comparable dataset for regional synthesis of agricultural and
environmental change, and the methods the author developed to
reconstruct agricultural change at Gordion serves as tools to
engage questions about the relationship between social and
environmental change at sites worldwide. Other books address
similar themes but none in the Near East address these themes in
diachronic perspective such as we have at Gordion. University
