A catalog of Middle Bronze Age fortified settlements in the Levant and Mesopotamia, and their forerunners.As the first comprehensive study of fortification systems and defensive strategies in the Levant during the Middle Bronze Age (ca. 1900 to 1500 B.C.E.), Walled up to Heaven is an indispensable contribution to the study of this period and of early warfare in the ancient Near East. Although archaeologists and ancient historians alike have discussed a variety of theories regarding the origin and cultural significance of the construction of earthen ramparts during the Middle Bronze Age, only this work addresses these questions in detail. In a tour de force, Burke traces the diachronic evolution and geographic distribution of the architectural features and settlement strategies connected with the emergence of Middle Bronze Age defenses in the Levant. By synthesizing historical and archaeological data from Mesopotamia and Egypt as well as the Levant, he reveals the interconnectedness of the Near Eastern world during the first half of the second millennium to an extent not recently considered. The result is a detailed employment of cognitive, social, and dirt archaeology to reconstruct the political, social, military, and cultural implications of the construction of monumental defenses and the development of defensive networks during the period of Amorite hegemony in the Levant.Studies in the archaeology and history of the Levant ;4.AntiquitiesAntiquities.725.18Burke Aaron A.1668361MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910809124103321"Walled up to heaven"4028927UNINA02202nam0 22004813i 450 VAN0022635020240806101313.218N978303050460120211014d2020 |0itac50 baengCH|||| |||||Developments and Novel Approaches in Nonlinear Solid Body MechanicsBilen Emek Abali, Ivan Giorgio editorsChamSpringer2020xxiv, 493 p.ill.24 cm001VAN001077362001 Advanced Structured Materials210 HeidelbergSpringer2010-130VAN00226352Developments and Novel Approaches in Nonlinear Solid Body Mechanics187941800A79 (77-XX)Physics [MSC 2020]VANC023182MF00B25Proceedings of conferences of miscellaneous specific interest [MSC 2020]VANC020732MF70-XXMechanics of particles and systems [MSC 2020]VANC021390MF92C10Biomechanics [MSC 2020]VANC030904MFComplexityKW:KContinuum MechanicsKW:KElasticityKW:KHomogenizationKW:KIcONSOMKW:KMetamaterialsKW:KModeling solid body mechanicsKW:KCHChamVANL001889AbaliBilen E.VANV098280GiorgioIvanVANV190133Springer <editore>VANV108073650Abali, Bilen EmekAbali, Bilen E.VANV100379Abali, B.
