Abstract
During the 1996 and 2000 seasons of excavation at Kerkenes Dağ, a large single-period Phrygian mountain-top city located in central Turkey, a small assemblage of archaeobotanical remains and an insect were recovered from two specific archaeological contexts dated to the 540s B.C. This report documents a well-cleaned Triticum durum/aestivum grain cache retrieved from a baking area, along with hand-picked remains of Cornus mas, Cerasus cf. avium, and a Brachycerus sp. weevil.
