Reviews
"The authors have here produced an indispensable research resource for students and specialists in the archaeology of Iran, dealing with a complex series of topics in masterly fashion. Especially innovative is the interweaving of multiple strands of archaeological evidence throughout the narratives of the book, including palaeoclimatology, archaeobotany and archaeozoology, which together succeed in bringing new perspectives on the past of Iran." ~Dr John Curtis, The Iran Heritage Foundation, Iran

Synopsis
The Archaeology of Iran is the first modern academic study to provide a synthetic, diachronic analysis of the archaeology and early history of all of Iran from the Palaeolithic period to the end of the Achaemenid Empire at 330 BC., The Archaeology of Iran from the Palaeolithic to the Archaemenid Empire is the first modern academic study to provide a synthetic, diachronic analysis of the archaeology and early history of all of Iran from the Palaeolithic period to the end of the Achaemenid Empire at 330 BC. Drawing on the authors' deep experience and engagement in the world of Iranian archaeology, and in particular on Iran-based academic networks and collaborations, this book situates the archaeological evidence from Iran within a framework of issues and debates of relevance today. Such topics include human-environment interactions, climate change and societal fragility, the challenges of urban living, individual and social identity, gender roles and status, the development of technology and craft specialisation and the significance of early bureaucratic practices such as counting, writing and sealing within the context of evolving societal formations. Richly adorned with more than 500 illustrations, many of them in colour, and accompanied by a bibliography with more than 3000 entries, this book will be appreciated as a major research resource for anyone concerned to learn more about the role of ancient Iran in shaping the modern world., The Archaeology of Iran is the first modern academic study to provide a synthetic, diachronic analysis of the archaeology and early history of all of Iran from the Palaeolithic period to the end of the Achaemenid Empire at 330 BC. Drawing on the authors' deep experience and engagement in the world of Iranian archaeology, and in particular on Iran-based academic networks and collaborations, this book situates the archaeological evidence from Iran within a framework of issues and debates of relevance today. Such topics include human-nvironment interactions, climate change and societal fragility, the challenges of urban living, individual and social identity, gender roles and status, the development of technology and craft specialisation and the significance of early bureaucratic practices such as counting, writing and sealing within the context of evolving societal formations. Richly adorned with more than 500 illustrations, many of them in colour, and accompanied by a bibliography with more than 3000 entries, this book will be appreciated as a major research resource for anyone concerned to learn more about the role of ancient Iran in shaping the modern world., In studying the human past, the country of Iran (ancient Persia) has strong claim to host some of the most significant developments anywhere on the planet. After the last Ice Age, from 11,000 BC onwards, human communities across Iran began to settle down in villages and domesticate the wild animals and plants around them. They changed from hunter-foragers to farmers and animal herders, and they were amongst the first in the world to do so. In later times, Iran was central to the rise of urban, literate societies from 4000 BC, maximising the value of its rich resources in the form of copper, silver, timber, carnelian and other commodities, to underpin Iran's key role in a complex phenomenon across the ancient Near East often called the rise of civilisation. From 2000 BC Iran participated in a series of increasingly large and powerful empires, culminating in the Achaemenid Empire of the mid-first millennium BC that stretched from the eastern shores of Europe to the Central Asian deserts, from the Black Sea coast to the Nile valley. Ancient Iran provides a synthetic and analytical study of the archaeology of Iran. Each chapter comprises thematic studies of key issues, allowing scope for theoretically-informed exploration of social, economic and cultural problems situated within a firm chronological framework. The book is above all an archaeological study, but draws heavily on related disciplines where appropriate, including history, geography, sociology, and natural sciences. Heavily illustrated with line drawings, photographs, tables and charts, Ancient Iran provides a much needed study of this key region in world archaeology.

Seller feedback (353,433)
- 6***y (1)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseThe description of the item says it was a hardcover book, upon receiving this item it came as a loose-leaf paper textbook. I am extremely disappointed as i reached out to the seller and they gave me an AI generated response and then proceeded to tell me to send it back for a refund. I am a college student and I am unable to return this item because I need it for a class. This was extremely disappointing and I will never be buying from them again.
