The Aftermath of the 8.2k Climatic Event in Southeast Anatolia: A Study of Anthracological Remains from the Late Neolithic Site of Domuztepe.

我的项目的主要目的是探索8200年BP（现在之前）气候事件的环境后果以及社会和经济反应，这是一个持续约300年的全球气温和降雨量迅速下降的时期，标志着安纳托利亚东南部从全新世早期到中期的过渡。在整个西南亚，这一寒冷和干旱的事件在不同程度上影响了旧世界最早的农业社区，导致了复杂的，往往是有争议的社会经济变化模式[2-3]。我的研究重点是位于土耳其东南部Narli平原的Domuztepe大型新石器时代晚期遗址，该遗址在社会变革的关键时期被占领约6400-5450 cal BC：在第一个农牧经济发展之后，在该地区最早的城市出现之前。

They key aim of my project is to explore the environmental consequences of, and societal and economic responses to, the 8.2 thousand years BP (Before Present) climatic event, a period of rapid decrease in global temperatures and rainfall that lasted ~300 years and marked the transition from the early to middle Holocene in southeast Anatolia. Across Southwest Asia, this cold and arid episode affected in varying degrees the earliest known farming communities in the Old World resulting in complex, and often contested, patterns of socioeconomic change [2-3]. The focus of my research is the large late Neolithic site of Domuztepe located in the Narli plain of southeast Turkey, that was occupied ~6400-5450 cal BC during a key period of societal change: after the development of the first agropastoral economies and before the emergence of the earliest cities in the region.
