Borders in Archaeology : Anatolia and the South Caucasus ca. 3500-500 BCE PDF
Edited by L. d'Alfonso, L. d'Alfonso
Part of the Ancient Near Eastern Studies Supplement Series series
Description
This volume is devoted to the search for borders in archaeology and takes as a case study the archaeology of Anatolia and the South Caucasus in the Bronze and Iron Ages.
Up until the mid-first millennium BCE, these regions differ in interregional and macro-regional interactions, political complexity, economic and mobility strategies, and communication of identities, among which is the use and spread of writing through time.
They are united by their representation in ancient sources and modern literature as borderlands.
These features represent the core of the discussion developed in the volume.
Chapters include theoretical discussion of borders and boundaries, and regional investigations of the Early, Middle and Late Bronze Age (Assyrian colony period, Hittite empire in Anatolia, Kura-Araxes, Trialeti-Vanadzor, Van-Urmia and other traditions in the South Caucasus), the Early Iron Age and Middle Iron Age (Troy, Phrygia, Urartu), until the unification under the Achaemenid Empire.
They offer a balanced interplay between site-based investigations and landscape archaeology in Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia and Turkey.
