    Agricultural terraces in the Mediterranean: medieval intensification revealed by OSL profiling and dating
    (Cambridge University Press (CUP), 2021) Turner, S.; Kinnaird, T.; Varinlio?lu, G.; Koparal, E.; Demirciler, V.; Athanasoulis, D.; Odegård, K.; Crow, J.; Jackson, M.; Bolòs, J.; Sánchez-Pardo, J. C.; Carrer, F.; Sanderson, D.; Turner, A.; Şerifoğlu, Tevfik Emre; Faculty Member; Koç University Research Center for Anatolian Civilizations (ANAMED) / Anadolu Medeniyetleri Araştırma Merkezi (ANAMED)
    The history of agricultural terraces remains poorly understood due to problems in dating their construction and use. This has hampered broader research on their significance, limiting knowledge of past agricultural practices and the long-term investment choices of rural communities. The authors apply OSL profiling and dating to the sediments associated with agricultural terraces across the Mediterranean region to date their construction and use. Results from five widely dispersed case studies reveal that although many terraces were used in the first millennium AD, the most intensive episodes of terrace-building occurred during the later Middle Ages (c. AD 1100-1600). This innovative approach provides the first large-scale evidence for both the longevity and medieval intensification of Mediterranean terraces.

    Simulating change in cultural landscapes: the integration of historic landscape characterisation and computer modelling
    (American Society of Landscape Architecture (ASLA), 2020) Erdoğan, Nurdan; Carrer, Francesco; Tonyaloğlu, Ebru Ersoy; Çavdar, Betül; Varinlioğlu, Günder; Jackson, Mark; Kurtsan, Kübra; Nurlu, Engin; Turner, Sam; Şerifoğlu, Tevfik Emre; Faculty Member; Koç University Research Center for Anatolian Civilizations (ANAMED) / Anadolu Medeniyetleri Araştırma Merkezi (ANAMED)
    More than 80 per cent of the world's landscapes are influenced significantly by human activities, and current land-use and land cover trends are likely to increase the rate of landscape change at a significant rate in the near future. To manage and guide landscape change, and an advocacy of positive landscape change–rather than attempts to stop change as in traditional preservationist approaches–requires the identification of threats and opportunities. Tools to do this will need to be based on well-investigated evidence for the long-term past evolution of landscapes and the understanding of possible future scenarios for change. Historic landscape characterisation (HLC) is a GIS-based method employed to interpret and study landscapes with a particular focus on representing and mapping the aspects of landscape character which result from past cultural processes. This paper introduces a new protocol which uses HLC data to model future landscape evolution and to simulate scenarios of landscape change. It describes a computer-based simulation framework derived from landscape ecology and used with HLC datasets during research on a region in southern Turkey. Such integrated modelling protocols have the potential to assist landscape planners to develop holistic and informative approaches to managing landscape change.
