| Sumario: | Storage is one of the main foci in archaeological research on prehistoric communities of various time periods and regions. This socio-economic practice is related to a wide range of past lifeways, such as subsistence practices, settlement patterns, and social relations, which are particularly significant aspects in the study on the transition from foragers to early farmers during the late Pleistocene and early Holocene. This chapter presented analyses of phytoliths, faecal spherulites, and micromorphology of the clay bin features to provide geoarchaeological evidence for storage practices at Göytepe. Clay bins are common architectural components at Göytepe and other early agricultural settlements affiliated with the Shomutepe culture in the southern Caucasus. |
