This volume, dedicated to the archaeology and art history of ancient Western Asia and the Eastern Mediterranean, presents and analyses some of the main archaeological, artistic and settlement contexts of Central-Western Eurasia using a geo-historical, interdisciplinary and comparative approach. The material, figurative and epigraphic cultural documents and data relating to settlements, territory and landscape from Mesopotamia, Syria-Palestine, Anatolia, the Arabian Peninsula and North-Eastern Africa outline various complementary and sometimes synchronous processes of cultural, economic and symbolic interaction that took place between the middle of the 5th millennium BC and the death of Alexander the Great in Babylon in 323 BC. It was during this long period that the first cities in history, archaic states and universal empires between the Indian Ocean and the Mediterranean were formed. This textbook aims to be an introduction to the complexity and variety of these phenomena.
Questo volume per Archeologia e Storia dell’Arte dell’Asia Occidentale e del Mediterraneo Orientale Antichi presenta e discute alcuni tra i maggiori contesti archeologici, artistici e insediamentali dell’Eurasia centro-occidentale secondo un approccio geo-storico, interdisciplinare e comparativo. I documenti di cultura materiale, figurativa, epigrafica e i dati insediamentali, territoriali e paesaggistici di Mesopotamia, Siria-Palestina, Anatolia, Penisola Arabica e Africa nord-orientale delineano diversi processi complementari e talora sincronici di interazione culturale, economica e simbolica avvenuti tra la metà del quinto millennio a.C. e la morte di Alessandro Magno in Babilonia nel 323 a.C. È nel corso di questo lungo arco temporale che tra l’Oceano Indiano e il Mediterraneo si formeranno le prime città della storia, gli Stati arcaici e gli imperi universali. Quest’opera manualistica vuole essere un’introduzione alla complessità e varietà di questi fenomeni.

Abstract
This volume, dedicated to the archaeology and art history of ancient Western Asia and the Eastern Mediterranean, presents and analyses some of the main archaeological, artistic and settlement contexts of Central-Western Eurasia using a geo-historical, interdisciplinary and comparative approach. The material, figurative and epigraphic cultural documents and data relating to settlements, territory and landscape from Mesopotamia, Syria-Palestine, Anatolia, the Arabian Peninsula and North-Eastern Africa outline various complementary and sometimes synchronous processes of cultural, economic and symbolic interaction that took place between the middle of the 5th millennium BC and the death of Alexander the Great in Babylon in 323 BC. It was during this long period that the first cities in history, archaic states and universal empires between the Indian Ocean and the Mediterranean were formed. This textbook aims to be an introduction to the complexity and variety of these phenomena.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
