Drawing on the authors' deep experience and engagement in the world of Iranian archaeology, and in particular on Iran-based academic networks and collaborations, this book situates the archaeological evidence from Iran within a framework of issues and debates of relevance today. Such topics include human-environment interactions, climate change and societal fragility, the challenges of urban living, individual and social identity, gender roles and status, the development of technology and craft specialisation, and the significance of early bureaucratic practices such as counting, writing and sealing within the context of evolving societal formations. Richly adorned with more than 500 illustrations, many of them in colour, and accompanied by a bibliography with more than 3000 entries, this book will be appreciated as a major research resource for anyone concerned to learn more about the role of ancient Iran in shaping the modern world. 410 0$aRoutledge World Archaeology Series 606 $aExcavations (Archaeology)$zIran$xHistory 615 0$aExcavations (Archaeology)$xHistory. 676 $a935.7 700 $aMatthews$b Roger$0459235 702 $aNashli$b Hasan Fazili 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910774719803321 996 $aThe Archaeology of Iran$93014344 997 $aUNINA
