These conference proceedings contain a foreword by the editor, eight papers, an appendix with the discussions of the plenary sessions, a bibliography on primary data of subsistence in prehistoric Anatolia, a list of contributors and participants, sources of illustrations, and the conference programme. The articles deal with social anthropological insight into the prehistory of Anatolia [Gingrich, Schweitzer], with social aspects of subsistence economies, specialised production, and exchange in prehistoric Anatolia from an ethnoarchaeological perspective [Yakar], with an outline of the Holocene geomorphology of Anatolia [Mater, Turoğlu], with changes in crop production in Anatolia from the Neolithic until the end of the Early Bronze Age [Riehl], with ecology and socioeconomics of woodland exploitation practices in prehistoric Anatolia [Asouti], with zooarchaeological evidence for prehistoric Anatolian subsistence practices [Popkin], with spatial approaches for reconstructing subsistence strategies and exchange [Wawruschka] as well as with a proposal of a complex study of Neolithic grinding stone industry [Pavlů].
