By focusing on issues of diversity, scale, and context, it considers the ways in which economy, crafts, technology, and ritual were organised; the roles played by mortuary practices and households in the structure and development of ancient societies; and the importance of agency, identity, ethnicity, gender,Themes from the ancient Near East BANEA publication series ;v. 2.Social archaeologyMiddle EastSocial archaeologyCyprusSocial archaeologyTurkeyCommunity lifeMiddle EastHistoryCommunity lifeCyprusHistoryCommunity lifeTurkeyHistoryExcavations (Archaeology)Middle EastMiddle EastAntiquitiesMiddle EastHistoryTo 622Middle EastHistory, LocalElectronic books.Social archaeologySocial archaeologySocial archaeologyCommunity lifeHistory.Community lifeHistory.Community lifeHistory.Excavations (Archaeology)935Bolger Diane1954-922303Maguire Louise C(Louise Clare)934779Peltenburg E.
