The origin and growth of cities forms one of the most important chapters in human history. In this volume, 17 researchers present archaeological, epigraphic and textual data on the rise of urbanism in the ancient Near Eastern world, Cyprus to Mesopotamia and from Crete to Egypt. Topics addressed include the influence of agriculture intensification, of trade, of craft specialization and of writing on the rise of cities. The roles of cultural elites, of ideologies and of relations between proximal urban centres are also examined. 410 4$aThe Library of Hebrew Bible/Old Testament Studies 606 $aCities and towns, Ancient$zMiddle East$vCongresses 606 $aExcavations (Archaeology)$zMiddle East$vCongresses 606 $aUrbanization$zMiddle East$vCongresses 607 $aMiddle East$xAntiquities$vCongresses 615 0$aCities and towns, Ancient 615 0$aExcavations (Archaeology) 615 0$aUrbanization 676 $a307.76093 701 $aAufrecht$b Walter Emanuel$f1942-$01462439 701 $aGauley$b Steven W$01462440 701 $aMirau$b Neil A$g(Neil Arnold),$f1952-$01462441 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910782553803321 996 $aUrbanism in antiquity$93671422 997 $aUNINA
