Document Details : Title: Storage and Food Management in Northern Syria from the Iron Age I to the Iron Age III (12th-6th Centuries BC) Author(s): MONTESANTO, Mariacarmela Journal: Anatolica Volume: 49 Date: 2023 Pages: 165-185 DOI: 10.2143/ANA.49.0.3292774 Abstract : This paper discusses the organization and management of food in selected sites located in northern Syria and southern Turkey dated from the Iron Age I to the Iron Age III (12th-6th centuries BC). I will discuss how changes in settlement patterns may have influenced food strategies in an area ruled by Syro-Anatolian city states during the Iron Age I and by the Assyrians during the Iron Age II-III. I will focus on analysing storage installations (silos and storage jars) retrieved from household and productive contexts in the Amuq Valley and in contemporary sites to help reconstruct the agricultural policies and systems of access and distribution of food supplies. |
