This volume on the Archaeology and Art History of Ancient Western Asia and the Eastern Mediterranean presents and discusses some of the major archaeological, artistic, and settlement contexts of Central-Western Eurasia according to a geo-historical, interdisciplinary, and comparative approach. The material, figurative, and epigraphic cultural documents and the settlement, territorial, and landscape data from Mesopotamia, Syria-Palestine, Anatolia, the Arabian Peninsula, and northeastern Africa outline various complementary and sometimes synchronous processes of cultural, economic, and symbolic interaction that took place between the middle of the fifth millennium BCE and the death of Alexander the Great in Babylon in 323 BCE. It was during this long period that the first cities in history, archaic states, and universal empires were formed between the Indian Ocean and the Mediterranean.
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 geostorico, 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.

Abstract
This volume on the Archaeology and Art History of Ancient Western Asia and the Eastern Mediterranean presents and discusses some of the major archaeological, artistic, and settlement contexts of Central-Western Eurasia according to a geo-historical, interdisciplinary, and comparative approach. The material, figurative, and epigraphic cultural documents and the settlement, territorial, and landscape data from Mesopotamia, Syria-Palestine, Anatolia, the Arabian Peninsula, and northeastern Africa outline various complementary and sometimes synchronous processes of cultural, economic, and symbolic interaction that took place between the middle of the fifth millennium BCE and the death of Alexander the Great in Babylon in 323 BCE. It was during this long period that the first cities in history, archaic states, and universal empires were formed between the Indian Ocean and the Mediterranean.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
