It is explicitly stated in the passage that ----.
The contemporary climate of the Konya Plain is of a
dry Mediterranean character, with a dry summer and
a moister winter and spring. Annual rainfall is low, an
annual average of 250mm, though it increases
towards the edge of the plain, reaching 315mm.
Unirrigated crops suffer from regular failure in the
area. Palaeoclimatic research suggests that the
climate was moister through Çatalhöyük’s Neolithic
occupation than it is today. Greater precipitation
might have increased flood frequency, the extent of
flood and soil waterlogging, as precipitation in the
river catchment was the main determinant of alluvial
systems dynamics. It might also have increased the
reliability of rain-fed agriculture in the drier sub-
environments of the plain while making agriculture in
the alluvial zone more risky. The sudden end of
alluviation, before the onset of Chalcolithic
occupation, indicated a period of dryness, which not
only affected the alluvial system, but also reduced the
reliability of rain-fed agriculture in the drier zones.
