The book organizes this vast, dense and often obscure archaeological corpus into thematic chapters, and isolates three primary contexts for analysis: the settlements and households of villages, the cemeteries of villages, and the monumental citadels of agrarian elites. The book is a study of contrasts between the social logic and ideological\/ritual panoply of villages and citadels. The material culture, social organization and social life of Early Bronze Age villages is not radically different from the farming settlements of earlier periods in Anatolia. On the other hand the monumental citadel is unprecedented; the material culture of the Early Bronze Age citadel informs the beginning of a long era in Anatolia, defined by the existence of an agrarian elite who exaggerated inequality and the degree of separation from those who did not live on citadels. This is a study of the ascendance of the citadel ca. 2600 BCE, and related consequences for villages in Early Bronze Age Anatolia.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bachhuber\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1845536487\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781845536480\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Equinox Publishing (UK)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.80h x 6.90w x 0.70d","brand":"Bachhuber","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45478801735935,"sku":"9781845536480","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a532f1bb-1f3f-4e8b-a08f-9d1ab647df56.jpg?v=1715935768","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/citadel-and-cemetary-bachhuber-9781845536480","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
