Unwanted Inhabitants?
ISBN: 9783639112139 / Angielski / Miękka / 268 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Neolithic of southwest Asia is a critical time in human history; it saw the emergence of agriculture, the beginning of prolonged sedentism, a change in cultural and ritual practices and the advent of complex societies. With this came not only a practical change in resource management but also an ideological shift in how these resources were viewed. By comparing microfaunal assemblages from two very different sites in Anatolia, Catalhoyuk and Pınarbaşı, Emma Jenkins explores how microfauna can be used to provide information about the palaeoenvironment, the effects of...
