商品簡介
This is a collection of essays taken from the International Workshop held at Grey College, University of Durham in April 2006, entitled The Ubaid Expansion? Cultural Meaning, Identity and the Lead-up to Urbanism. Its intent is to clarify the meaning of the archeological term Ubaid, and to concentrate the data, both factual and conjectural, about the habits, tools and daily life of the peoples and cultures held together by the areas and eras indicated by the term itself. This volume comes complete with many illustrations and photographs concerning Ubaid pottery and archeological sites. Includes a bibliography, but no subject index. The text is highly technical in nature and is suitable for graduate students or professionals studying archeology or anthropology, especially those focusing on the Near and Middle East.
