ISBN: 9781842173527 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 488 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Archaeology is not just about the past, but the present and future too.

The Emergence of Civilization: From Hunting and Gathering to Agriculture, Cities, and the State of the Near East
ISBN: 9780415096591 / Angielski / Miękka / 1993 / 416 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The Emergence of Civilisation is a major contribution to our understanding of the development of urban culture and social stratification in the Near Eastern region.

His investigation illuminates the changes in scale, complexity and hierarchy which accompany the development of civilisation. The book draws conclusions about the dynamics of social change and the processes of social evolution in general, applying those concepts to the rise of Greece and Rome,...

The transition from foraging, farming and the neolithic village to the city-state is a complex and fascinating period. Studies on the prehistory of the Near East by nineteenth and twentieth century pioneers in the field transformed archaeology through the creation of the 'Ages System' of Stone, Bronze and Iron.
