As such, it provides a critical missing link in our understanding of the archaeology of this region in the early urban age.\u0026amp;nbsp;\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eA Land in Between\u003c\/i\u003e documents the material culture and socio-political relationships of the Orontes Valley and its neighbours during the second half of the 3rd millennium BCE. The authors demonstrate that the valley was a chief conduit for the exchange of knowledge and goods that fuelled the first urban age in western Syria. This lays the foundation for a comparative perspective, providing a clearer understanding of key differences between the Orontes region and its neighbours, and insights into how patterns of material and political association changed over time.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46839830806686,"sku":"ADS-9781743327180","price":79.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781743327180.jpg?v=1778827549","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781743327180","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
