Agricultural Resilience at Tell Tweini across the Transition
Local crop and animal isotope evidence does not show severe, sustained agricultural water stress at Tell Tweini across the transition.
What is the evidence?
observed evidence
- Emmer wheat values consistent with adequate water
- No clear severe local water-stress signal
- Evidence for mixed agricultural strategies
proposed causes
consequences
The local finding is robust, but the site’s hydrology may buffer broader regional aridity.

Properties and assignments
A label’s definition and the evidence for assigning it here are separate.
Local Proxy, Not Automatic Regional Generalization
The record directly represents a locality or catchment and should not be generalized to the entire Mediterranean without comparison.
Why does this record have this property?
Tell Tweini demonstrates local agricultural adaptation and cannot be treated as proof that all Levantine regions experienced the same conditions.
Resilient Continuity
Evidence of continuity, adaptation, rebuilding, or maintained production despite wider instability.
Why does this record have this property?
Subsistence evidence indicates adaptation rather than simple agricultural collapse.
