Özet:
Archaeobotany is a discipline that allows us to understand people's interactions with their environment and agricultural practices in the past as well as past vegetation. In this context, archaeobotanical data has an important potential in determining the social and cultural relations of past societies and their interactions with other cultural material elements. Within the scope of this thesis, the transformation of the Hittites from a local kingdom to a regional superpower, also called an empire, was examined with the archaebotanical macro remains obtained from the important Hittite settlements of Hattusha, Kalehöyük, Çadırhöyük, Kuşaklı and Ortaköy. Within the scope of the study, the changes in the product preferences, production diversity, sowing periods and tillage densities in agricultural activities over time were statistically analyzed, and similarities, differences and significant patterns in agricultural practices were evaluated in the context of centralization.
