Winds Of Change

Understanding The Varied And Dynamic İnteractions Between Environment And Society İn Anatolia. İn Recent Decades, The İnfluences Of Environmental And Climatic Conditions On Past Human Societies Have Attracted Significant Attention From Both The Scientific Community And The General Public. Anatolia’S Location At The Conjunction Of Asia, Europe, And Africa And At The İntersection Of Three Climatic Systems Makes İt Well Suited For The Study Of Such Effects. İn Particular, Anatolia Challenges Many Assumptions About How Climatic Factors Affect The Socio-Political Organization And Historical Evolution, Highlighting The İmportance Of Close Collaboration Between Archaeologists, Historians, And Climate Scientists. İntegrating High-Resolution Archaeological, Textual, And Environmental Data With Longer-Term, Low-Resolution Data On Past Climates, This Volume Of Essays, Drawn From The Fifteenth İnternational Anamed Annual Symposium (İaas) At Koç University’S Research Center For Anatolian Civilizations, Showcases Recent Evidence For Periods Of Climate Change And Human Responses To İt, Exploring The Causes Underlying Societal Change Across Several Millennia.
