Summary:The 2011 season of the Rough Cilicia Archaeological Survey Project was conducted between 21 July 21-21 August. The survey team has been investigating the possibility that resource depletion played a role in population collapse at the end of the Roman era. To obtain this data the team recovers pollen and carbon samples from geomorphologic trenches excavated in the cedar zone (1500-1800 m. elevation), tree-ring data from dendrochronological survey of the existing forest, and archaeological data from the remains of ancient highland settlements. Preliminary results indicate that a phase of deforestation coincided with regional site abandonment and population decline at the end of antiquity (ca. 600 A.D.). [Abridged Publication Abstract]
