Dear Dana,
I have never worked on Turkish material but the closest I have worked to you
is in Cyprus. However, I have just submitted an article (in press) on the
Classical/Hellenistic/Roman/Late Antique material from Pyrgouthi in the
Argolid (Peloponnese, Greece) where I found pomegranade in the Late Antique
levels. However, this fruit was found in Greece from the Late Bronze Age at
least!! A very interesting article on punica though has been published by
Jacomet, S. et al., in Vegetation History and Archaeobotany 11(1-2)
200279-92 and although it is a site in Roman Switzerland, it is worth
reading.
Good luck!
Anaya Sarpaki
P.S. If you need to have the article I could send it.

Subject: Roman fruit from Turkey
> Hello everyone,

> Can anyone suggest any publications on archaeobotanical assemblages from
Roman sites in Turkey/Syria? In particular, I am interested in remains of
Punica and other fruits, of which I have abundant remains from my site -
Zeugma - in South East Turkey. But any archaeobotanical results from the
region for the Imperial Roman period would be extremely useful.
