Abstract:
AbstractDue to its geographical position, the Anatolian plateau has always been considered as a bridge in transmitting cultural formations that originated in the Near East to southeastern Europe and to the Aegean. Such a standpoint downgrades the role played by the Anatolian plateau to a transit route between the East and the West, overlooking its distinct structure. It seems that the main bias is in considering the Anatolian plateau as a single cultural unit, ignoring the multifarious nature of its structure. The role the Anatolian plateau played between the ‘East’ and the ‘West’ was much mor

AbstractScholars have recently investigated the efficacy of applying globalisation models to ancient cultures such as the fourth-millennium BC Mesopotamian Uruk system. Embedded within globalisation models is the ‘complex connectivity‘ that brings disparate regions together into a singular world. In the fourth millennium BC, the site of Çadır Höyük on the north-central Anatolian plateau experienced dramatic changes in its material culture and architectural assemblages, which in turn reflect new socio-economic, sociopolitical and ritual patterns at this rural agro-pastoral settlement.

AbstractUsing a variety of quantitative approaches, interactions between prehistoric sites in the Göksu valley and south-central Anatolia are modelled within their wider multi-regional and diachronic socio-economic networks to assess the prominence and influence of communities in south-central Anatolia from the Late Chalcolithic to the end of the Early Bronze Age (c. 4200–2000 BC). Since the 1950s, some have understood the valley as significant in terms of movement and communication through the Taurus mountain chain that divides the southern Anatolian plateau from the Mediterranean coast.

Abstract:
SummaryThe city on the Kerkenes Dağ in central Anatolia is the largest pre-Hellenistic urban centre on the plateau (figs 1–2). It has plausibly been identified with a city of the Medes, called Pteria by Herodotus (1.76). If the identification is accepted, the city represents an expansion and imposition of Iranian power over the northern part of the central plateau. Kerkenes might thus provide evidence concerning the first sustained cultural, political and military contact between an Iranian imperial regime and Anatolian powers.

Abstract Continental sedimentation was widespread across the Central Anatolian Plateau in Miocene–Pliocene time, during the early stages of plateau uplift. Today, however, most sediment produced on the plateau is dispersed by a well-integrated drainage and released into surrounding marine depocenters. Residual long-term (106–107 yr) sediment storage on the plateau is now restricted to a few closed catchments. Lacustrine sedimentation was widespread in the Miocene–Pliocene depocenters. Today, it is also restricted to the residual closed catchments. The present-day association of closed catchmen

By investigating the lateral variations along this subduction zone in the overriding plate, we can gain insight into the processes that precede continent collision.

The initiative swung back to the Persians in 626. Two Persian armies attacked, Shahrbaraz driving Heraclius from Lake Van back to the Anatolian plateau, Shahen advancing across Transcaucasia. Shahrbaraz pressed on to the Bosporus, for a planned joint attack with the Avars on Constantinople. In the event, the Persian contingent was intercepted on the Bosporus, which left siege operations entirely in Avar hands. The huge host which they had assembled assaulted the city for ten days (29 July–7 August), deploying a full array of siege engines by land and Slav naval forces on the Golden Horn, but they could not breach the defences and withdrew on 8 August. Meanwhile, the Turks had invaded the Persian north-west across the Caucasus, and Heraclius, who had veered north on reaching Anatolia, had intercepted and destroyed Shahen’s army.

Abstract:
The principal focus of this chapter is the classic zone of early farming research from the 1960s onwards, the so-called ‘hilly flanks of the Fertile Crescent’ in South-West Asia (Fig. 4.1). This region is normally defined as the arc of hill country to the west of the Syrian desert and to the north and east of the Tigris and Euphrates valleys. The western side of the arc begins east of the Nile in the Sinai and the Gulf of Arabah on the southern border of Israel and Jordan; it continues northwards as the hill country on either side of the Jordan rift valley in Israel, Palestine, Lebanon, western Jordan, and western Syria (the so-called ‘Levantine corridor’); and extends westwards to the Mediterranean littoral. The northern sector is formed by the Taurus mountains along the southern edge of the Anatolian plateau, which curve eastwards from the Mediterranean coast in northern Syria to form the present-day Syrian–Turkish border. The eastern sector consists of the Zagros mountains, running south-eastwards from eastern Turkey and north-west Iran to the Persian Gulf, forming the Iraq–Iran border for most of their length, and continuing in south-west Iran beyond the Persian Gulf towards the Straits of Hormuz. The region also embraces adjacent zones: the alluvial plains of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers and the vast tracts of steppe and desert country separating them from the Levantine, Taurus, and Zagros upland systems; the Anatolian plateau to the north of the Taurus, within modern Turkey; and the Iranian plateau east of the Zagros, within modern Iran. The archaeological literature commonly uses the term Near East to describe the main region of interest, with the Levant for its western side (a term also used in this chapter), and South-West Asia for the eastern side, but the entire region is more correctly termed South-West Asia. The upland areas of the region mostly receive more than 200 millimetres of rainfall a year, which is the minimum required for growing cereals without irrigation. Rainfall decreases drastically moving out into the steppe and desert zones.

Abstract:
Hillslopes are the dominant landform features of the Earth’s surface. They make up the interface between the atmosphere and Earth systems, providing a substrate that supports life and thus the basis for human activities within the Mediterranean. Their location at this interface means that hillslopes evolve through a complex interaction of different processes, operating at a range of different time and spatial scales. At longer timescales, processes of weathering convert rock and other parent materials into soils. Soils allow the growth of vegetation and thus further feedbacks between atmospheric and surface processes; in some cases these feedbacks can be seen to provide relative stability, while in others the system can become more fragile (Chapter 20). The latter case often arises as a result of erosion processes of various types. Water erosion and mass movements are a significant element of Mediterranean landscape evolution, occurring in parallel with (in response to, and affecting) tectonic processes that have moulded the configuration of the Earth’s crust (see Chapter 1), producing the unique combination of environmental characteristics of the region. Since the Late Pleistocene, depending on location, human activity has led to an acceleration of many of these processes, with important consequences for the basic ‘life-support system’ of the region and for global environmental cycles. The in situ modification of near-surface materials is typically considered to take place along a continuum relating to the dominance of mechanical or chemical processes (e.g. Birkeland 1999). The simplest control may be considered to be climatic, with mechanical breakdown of particles dominating in cold, dry conditions, and chemical processes dominating in warm, wet conditions. Comparing this model to the present day climate of the Mediterranean suggests, as with other processes, something of a north–south divide in terms of the dominant weathering process. The northern part of the basin (together with the Levant and the north-facing uplands of the Maghreb) would seem to be dominated by moderate chemical weathering; exceptions being the arid areas of south-east Spain, southern Sicily, eastern Cyprus, and parts of the Anatolian plateau as well as areas where low average temperatures would also reduce rates, such as in the Alps and parts of Slovenia and Croatia.

Abstract:
The Mediterranean regions of the world are defined on the basis of their climate, with a distinct hot, dry summer season and a warm, wet winter (Grove and Rackham 2001; Chapter 3). Spring and autumn seasons are less well defined but often contribute significantly to annual precipitation. Strictly defined in this way, the Mediterranean region is confined to parts of Italy, Greece, southern France, the south and east of Spain (non-Atlantic climate), the Maghreb and Cyrenaica in North Africa, and narrow coastal strips running through the Balkans, southern and western Turkey, and the Levant (Syria, Lebanon, and Israel-Palestine). Outside these areas, climate becomes humid temperate (western Europe, Black Sea), arid (Sahara, northern Arabia), or continental (interior areas of the Balkans, Turkey and Iberia, the Zagros mountains of Iran/Iraq). Even within the strict definition are found subalpine mountain zones, so it is a difficult study region to demarcate absolutely. In a similar vein to the volume by Zolitschka et al. (2000), this chapter extends the scope to important wetlands in some neighbouring regions, and deals effectively with the circum-Mediterranean. Thus, we include lakes Ohrid and Dojran in the Balkans, wetlands of the continental interior of Turkey, north-western Iran and the Caucasus (e.g. Lakes Van, Urmia, and Sevan), the climatically dry Jordan rift valley which includes the Dead Sea, and the subalpine northern Italian lakes such as Como and Maggiore. The Mediterranean basin is geologically complex and has its origin in the progressive closure of the Sea of Tethys during the Tertiary (Laubscher and Bernoulli 1977). Plate convergence between Africa and Eurasia led to a major phase of orogenesis and the creation of fold mountains including the Atlas, Sierra Nevada, Alps, Apennines, and Taurus, and to plateau uplift in Iberia and Anatolia (Chapter 1). These mountain ranges are commonly dominated by massively deformed Mesozoic limestones that now form karst landscapes (e.g. Dinaric Alps; Ager 1980; Chapter 10). Tectonic movement also led to extensive late Cenozoic volcanism, notably in southern and central Italy, the Hellenic arc, Anatolia, and around the Jordan rift (Chapter 15).
