Despite this disciplinary impact and archaeological investigations at KuÂltepe and elsewhere, our understanding of this phenomenon has remained largely text-based and therefore of limited analytical scope, both spatially and contextually. This book re-assesses the Old-Assyrian trade network in Upper Mesopotamia and Central Anatolia during the Middle Bronze Age (c. 1970 - 1700 BC) by combining in some analytical detail the archaeology (e.g. material culture, settlement data, etc.) of the region both on its own terms and via a range of spatial approaches. The author offers a comparative and spatial perspective on exchange networks and economic strategies, continuity and discontinuity of specific trade circuits and routes, and the evolution of political landscapes throughout the Near East in the Middle Bronze Age. 651 0 $a Assyria $x Antiquities. 651 0 $a Middle East $x History $y To 622. 651 0 $a Middle East $x Civilization $y To 622. 651 0 $a Middle East $x Historical geography. 651 0 $a Assyria $x History. $x History. 650 0 $a Usages of trade $z Assyria $x History. 651 0 $a Assyrian $x History. $z Cappadocia $x History. 650 7 $a Antiquities. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00810745 650 7 $a Civilization. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00862898 650 7 $a Commerce. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00869279 650 7 $a Historical geography. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00958122 650 7 $a Usages of trade. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01163094 651 7 $a Middle East. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01241586 651 7 $a Middle East $z Assyria. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01220876 648 7 $a To 622 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 830 0 $a Archaeopress archaeology. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191217021859.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=9297D5A2462211E9A3F20F6897128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
