520 _aThis archaeobotanical investigation of Bronze Age agricultural economy and environment in the Troad is based on the study of c. 270,000 seed remains from the archaeological sites Kumtepe and Troy [Turkey]. The rich dataset, which covers a sequence of some 3,800 years, is analysed with various statistical methods to offer an archaeobotanical perspective of socio-economic development and human impact on the environment at Troy and Kumtepe. Increasing human influence on the landscape took place from Kumtepe B onwards as is obvious in the use of dung for fuel as a reply to the scarcity of wood. This work demonstrates that changes occurred not solely in the range and relative proportions of crop species and the associated weed spectra, but also in the locations of fields. The diversity in crops and the exploitation of a new range of species increased from the Neolithic to Late Bronze Age. Different cultivation methods such as polycropping during Middle Bronze Age Troy, and changing intensity in field management during different periods, determined the development of agriculture in the Troad.
