Abstract

This research seeks to model and better comprehend how archaeological communities and their environments co-evolved throughout the Late Holocene, under changing climatic conditions, and the dynamic processes of topography in semi-arid badlands. Our research, based on archaeological and paleoenvironmental data, is centered on Resuloğlu Höyük (Mound), a settlement from the Early Bronze Age (ca. 4300–4100 BP) located at the confluence of the Delice and the Kızılırmak rivers in north-central Anatolia. Excavated systematically from 2003 through 2019, Resuloğlu presents a large dataset that allows high-resolution modeling of socio-ecological dynamics in the long term in this challenging environment.
