Opis

Tell Abu Hureyra, a settlement by the Euphrates River in Syria, was excavated in 1972-73 by an international team of archaeologists. Documented first hand in the book, findings from the excavation capture the transition in human history from the hunting-and-gathering to the farming way of life.

Recenzje

The first comprehensive scientific study of human food-getting practices at the end of the last glaciation, in the area where farming began. It is a magnificent achievement, long awaited and still incomplete but representing an end-of-century report on one of the most formative episodes in human history.
