She draws on a wide range of archaeological and cuneiform sources to show how networks of social structure, political and religious ideology, and everyday as well as ritual practice worked to maintain the integrity of those groups when the pursuit of different subsistence activities dispersed them over space. These networks were dynamic, shaping many of the key events and innovations of the time, including the Uruk expansion and the introduction of writing, so-called secondary state formation and the organization and operation of government, the literary production of the Third Dynasty of Ur and the first stories of Gilgamesh, and the emergence of the Amorrites in the second millennium BCE.Mobile Pastoralism & the Formation of Near Eastern CivilizationsPastoral systemsMiddle EastHistoryTo 1500Migration, InternalMiddle EastHistoryTo 1500Sedentary behaviorMiddle EastHistoryTo 1500Social archaeologyIraqSocial archaeologyMiddle EastArchaeologyMethodologyIraqAntiquitiesMiddle EastAntiquitiesIraqCivilizationTo 634Middle EastCivilizationTo 622Pastoral systemsHistoryMigration, InternalHistorySedentary behaviorHistorySocial archaeologySocial archaeologyArchaeologyMethodology.939/.4SOC003000bisacshPorter Anne1957-1814721UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910962243403321Mobile pastoralism and the formation of Near Eastern civilizations4426505UNINA
