When and how did these phenomena arise? What was the social and economic background for the development of hierarchies and the first cities? The authors of this volume analyze the processes of centralization, cultural interaction, and social differentiation that led to the development of the first urban centres and early state formations of ancient Eurasia, from the Atlantic coasts to China. The chronological framework spans a period from the Neolithic to the Late Iron Age, with a special focus on the early first millennium BC. By adopting an interdisciplinary approach structured around the concepts of identity and materiality, this book addresses the appearance of a range of key phenomena that continue to shape our world. 606 $aPrehistoric peoples$zEurasia$xSocial life and customs 606 $aPrehistoric peoples$zEurasia$xSocial conditions 606 $aSocial archaeology$zEurasia 606 $aCities and towns, Ancient$zEurasia 606 $aUrbanization$zEurasia$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aSocial change$zEurasia$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aGroup identity$zEurasia$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aMaterial culture$zEurasia$xHistory$yTo 1500 607 $aEurasia$xAntiquities 615 0$aPrehistoric peoples$xSocial life and customs. 615 0$aPrehistoric peoples$xSocial conditions. 615 0$aSocial archaeology 615 0$aCities and towns, Ancient 615 0$aUrbanization$xHistory 615 0$aSocial change$xHistory 615 0$aGroup identity$xHistory 615 0$aMaterial culture$xHistory 676 $a930.1 702 $aFerna?ndez-Go?tz$b Manuel 702 $aKrausse$b Dirk 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910159458303321 996 $aEurasia at the dawn of history$92581873 997 $aUNINA
