Mediterranean Urbanization 800-600 BC

Zusatztext this volume provides a stimulating discussion of a range of different urbanisation processes, and presents a remarkably coherent set of papers which should go some considerable way to re-establishing the study of urbanisation as an important topic for our understanding of the ancient Mediterranean. Klappentext 0 Zusammenfassung Urban life as we know it in the Mediterranean began in the early Iron Age: settlements of great size and internal diversity appear in the archaeological record. This collection of essays offers a discussion of the beginnings of urbanization across the Mediterranean, from Cyprus through Greece and Italy to France and Spain.
