Abstract

This dataset is constructed first by manual data entry from the Ottoman temettuat registers (available at the Turkish Presidency State Archives of the Republic of Turkey – Department of Ottoman Archives, (ML. VRD. TMT. d.) collection) into our customized relational database and then by making a selection available in spreadsheet format. <br> Our team located, curated, and extracted agricultural production data for the town of Gemlik and two villages, Kumla-i Sagir and Kurşunlu from the Bursa region for 1844/45. We coded both agricultural production areas as well as product type using the Corine Land Cover nomenclature (CLC2018, https://land.copernicus.eu/user-corner/technical-library/corine-land-cover-nomenclature-guidelines/html).
