Re-thinking the 'Green Revolution' in the Mediterranean world Kirchner, Helena García-Contreras, Guillermo Fenwick, Corisande Pluskowski, Aleks Agrarian relations Agriculture Climate change Crops Islamic Mediterranean Resilience From the seventh century AD, successive Islamic polities were established around the Mediterranean. Historians have linked these caliphates with the so-called 'Islamic Green Revolution' - the introduction of new crops and agricultural practices that transformed the economies of regions under Muslim rule. Increasingly, archaeological studies have problematised this largely text-based model of agrarian innovation, yet much of this research remains regionally and methodologically siloed. Focusing on the Western Mediterranean, the authors offer a theoretically informed, integrated environmental archaeology approach through which to contextualise the ecological impact of the Arab-Berber conquests. Its future application will allow a fuller evaluation of the scale, range and significance of agricultural innovations during the 'medieval millennium'. 2025-02-04T00:03:09Z 2025-02-04T00:03:09Z 2025-02-04T00:03:09Z 2023 Article http://hdl.handle.net/2072/481153 Antiquity ; Vol. 97 Núm. 394 (2023), p. 964-974 open access Aquest document està subjecte a una llicència d'ús Creative Commons.
