Preludes to Urbanism
Author: Augusta McMahonPublisher: McDonald Institute Monographs
ISBN: 9781902937656
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
This volume explores early complex society and nascent urbanism, based in studies of Mesopotamia during the fifth-fourth millennia BC. Urbanism in the Near East has traditionally been located in late fourth millennium BC southern Mesopotamia (south Iraq); but recent excavations and surveys in northeast Syria and southeast Turkey have identified a distinctively northern Mesopotamian variant of this development, which can be dated to the early fourth millennium BC. The authors use multiscalar approaches, including material culture based studies, settlement archaeology and regional surveys, to achieve an understanding of the dynamics of early urbanism across this key region. The book reveals the variety of social, economic and political relationships that are implicit within an urban center and an urbanized society. Northeast Syria from 2006 to 2011.
