Abstract

Abstract Intensive archaeobotanical investigations at Çatalhöyük have created a unique opportunity to explore change and continuity in plant use through the ca 1,500-year Neolithic to early Chalcolithic sequence of an early established farming community. The combination of crops and herd animals in the earliest (Aceramic) part of the sequence reflects a distinct and diverse central Anatolian ‘package’ at the end of the eighth millennium cal. BC. Here we report evidence for near continual adjustment of cropping regimes through time at Çatalhöyük, featuring recruitment of minor crops or crop contaminants to become major staples. We use panarchy theory to frame an understanding of Çatalhöyük's long-term sustainability, arguing that its resilience was a function of three key factors: its diverse initial crop spectrum, which acted as an archive for later innovations; its modular social structure, enabling small-scale experimentation and innovation in cropping at the household level; and its agglomerated social morphology, allowing successful developments to be scaled up across the wider community. This case study in long-term sustainability through flexible, changeable cropping strategies is significant not only for understanding so-called boom and bust cycles elsewhere but also for informing wider agro-ecological understanding of sustainable development in central Anatolia and beyond.
一个长寿的早期农业社区的农业创新和恢复力:新石器时代到早期铜石器时代的1500年序列Çatalhöyük,安纳托利亚中部
在Çatalhöyük进行的深入考古植物学调查创造了一个独特的机会,可以探索从大约1500年的新石器时代到早期铜石器时代的早期农业社区中植物利用的变化和连续性。序列中最早(陶瓷)部分的农作物和畜群动物的结合反映了公元前八千年末安纳托利亚中部一个独特而多样的“包裹”。在这里,我们在Çatalhöyük报告了种植制度随着时间的推移几乎不断调整的证据,其特点是次要作物或作物污染物成为主要主食。我们使用层级理论来理解Çatalhöyük的长期可持续性,认为其弹性是三个关键因素的函数:其多样化的初始作物谱,为后来的创新提供了档案;其模块化的社会结构,使家庭层面的小规模种植实验和创新成为可能;其聚集的社会形态,使得成功的发展可以在更广泛的社区中进行扩展。通过灵活多变的种植策略进行长期可持续发展的案例研究不仅对理解其他地方所谓的繁荣和萧条周期具有重要意义,而且对安纳托利亚中部及其他地区的可持续发展提供了更广泛的农业生态理解。
