| Summary: | Macrobotanical remains in the form of grape seeds, fruits, stems, and wood provide evidence of viticulture during the second and early first millennia BCE in Anatolia. While data is limited, grape evidence appears to be concentrated at archaeological sites located in environments most suitable to its cultivation. Wine production may also have extended onto the central Anatolian plateau, although a relative paucity of grape remains suggests that production was not a routine activity for ordinary people in this region. Further archaeological research and archaeobotanical sampling may allow us to determine whether or not winemaking was under the control of elites at specialized production sites. |
