The archaeobotanical database was created between 2010 and 2015 through funding by the DFG-Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft as part of the research project Climate, Agriculture and Society – On the sustainability of Ancient Agricultural Systems, conducted at the universities of Freiburg and Tübingen.
It contains primarily archaeobotanical seed data from the geographic regions of Aegean Greece, Turkey, Western Iran, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Israel, Jordan, and Northern Egypt. The chronological coverage comprises the Epipalaeolithic to the Medieval periods, with a special focus on the Bronze and Iron Ages.
Since 2015 the database available on this page has not been updated, but was partially integrated and transformed to meet other project goals.
An integration of data from the area of the southern Levant into the project "'The Land Flowing with Milk and Honey'. Development and Significance of Agrarian Resources in Bronze and Iron Age Palestine" within the Collaborative Research Center (SFB 1070) started in 2013. Updating and expansion of the database with zooarchaeological data of the same region is ongoing.
The archaeobotanical data for the regions Turkey, Western Iran, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon and Jordan are currently transformed and expanded within the CLaSS project – Climate, Landscape, Settlement and Society in a collaboration of the universities Durham, Leeds & Tübingen.
The version of 2015 available here will remain online for inquiries until its replacement by the updated version created at the University of Durham.
