S. -- $tBibliography -- $tIndex 330 $aThis integration of earlier and new scholarship reconceptualizes the origins of civilization, challenging the received view that the ancient Near East spawned the spread of civilization outward from Mesopotamia to all other neighboring cultures. Central Asia is here shown to have been a major player in the development of cities.Skillfully documenting the different phases of both Soviet and earlier Western external analyses along with recent excavation results, this new interpretation reveals Central Asia's role in the socioeconomic and political processes linked to both the Iranian Plateau and the Indus Valley, showing how it contributed substantively to the origins of urbanism in the Old World. Hiebert's research at Anau and his focus on the Chalcolithic levels provide an essential starting point for understanding both the nature of village life and the historical trajectories that resulted in Bronze Age urbanism.University Museum Monograph, 116 410 0$aUniversity Museum monograph ;$v116. 606 $aCities and towns$zAsia, Central$xHistory 606 $aCity and town life$zAsia, Central$xHistory 606 $aVillages$zAsia, Central$xHistory 606 $aExcavations (Archaeology)$zAsia, Central 607 $aAsia, Central$xCivilization 607 $aAsia, Central$xAntiquities 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aCities and towns$xHistory. 615 0$aCity and town life$xHistory. 615 0$aVillages$xHistory. 615 0$aExcavations (Archaeology) 676 $a307.76/0958 700 $aHiebert$b Fredrik T$g(Fredrik Talmage),$0908131 702 $aKurbansakhatov$b K$g(Kakamurad), 702 $aDyson$b Robert H. 702 $aSchmidt$b Hubert 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910457842703321 996 $aA Central Asian village at the dawn of civilization, excavations at Anau, Turkmenistan$92031124 997 $aUNINA
