The Early History Of The Ancient Near East, 9000 2000 B.C. by Hans J. Nissen
9000-2000 B.C.
A concise synthesis of the ancient Near East from the Neolithic to the early Bronze Age, tracing the shift from mobile foragers to agricultural villages, the rise of urban centers and early states, and the emergence of administrative and ideological systems. Drawing on archaeological and early textual evidence, it surveys settlement patterns, economy and trade, craft specialization, temple and palace institutions, social hierarchy, and the invention of writing and administrative tools such as seals and tablets. Emphasis is placed on regional interactions and the gradual, processual nature of change from roughly 9000 to 2000 B.C.
