Annotation

This course is designated to provide a general introduction to the archaeology of the Ancient Near East. The <br>
course will be organized chronologically around broad processual themes (e.g. the origins of agriculture, <br>
emergence of urbanism, the rise of state-ordered societies, etc.), and will trace their historical development within <br>
various geographical sub-regions of the Near East (Mesopotamia, Syria-Palestine) from the earliest times to the <br>
end of the Bronze Age. Emphasis will be given to cultural history, while exploring the complex processes of social <br>
organization and change that gave shape to the remarkable cultural accomplishments of the Ancient Near Eastern <br>
world.<br>
