Abstract

This chapter presents preliminary archaeobotanical evidence from the Early Chalcolithic occupation at the site of Aktopraklık Höyük in northwest Anatolia, near the south Marmara coast. Samples collected in 2016‑17 and processed during the 2017‑2019 field seasons, using a rigorous recovery strategy, have yielded a rich and diverse archaeobotanical assemblage, containing ubiquitous and abundant crop remains as well as charred fruit, seeds and nutshell from indoor floor deposits and outdoor courtyard and communal areas. Our preliminary results also indicate spatial variation between indoor and outdoor areas with regard to crop processing and food preparation and consumption activities.
