Description
The fifth and fourth millennia BCE saw major cultural changes in the southern Levant and Northeast Africa: the spread of agriculture; developments in animal husbandry; increased contact between cultures; and the use of alloy bronze.
Metal, Nomads and Culture Contact integrates archaeological data from across the Chalcolithic period to contextualise these changes. The book examines the introduction of metal to the southern Levant, Egypt, and Lower Nubia, and the role of pastoral nomadism in cultural interaction and exchange.
Metal, Nomads and Culture Contact will be valuable to scholars of archaeology and anthropology.
