{"product_id":"preludes-to-urbanism-augusta-mcmahon-9781902937656","title":"Preludes to Urbanism: The Late Chalcolithic of Mesopotamia","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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Augusta McMahon\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1902937651\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781902937656\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e McDonald Institute for Archaeological Researc\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/31\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 196\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.10h x 8.70w x 0.70d","brand":"Augusta McMahon","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48450040234239,"sku":"9781902937656","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e96ba18d-b0f3-40bf-a91d-55200567805f.jpg?v=1777265966","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/preludes-to-urbanism-augusta-mcmahon-9781902937656","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
