Description

The technological capabilities of the traditional world have long fascinated scholars and most of the people alike, despite the fact that scholarly debate has ceaselessly seen subject matter culture not as the improvement of technology, but as a tool for defining chronology and delineating the extent of interactions of neighbouring societies. These fourteen papers, arising from a conference held in Oxford in September 2000, take the approach that technology plays a very important role in past socio-economic systems. They cover the Near East and associated areas, including Greece, Crete, Cyprus, Anatolia, the Levant, Mesopotamia and Egypt from the top of the Middle Bronze Age to the Late Bronze Age (1650-1150 BC), a period when many technological innovations appear for the primary time.
