Description
Departing from archaeology' s traditional urban focus, this book examines early Near Eastern and Mesoamerican civilizations from the perspective of the hinterland, arguing that the standard concept of the "homogeneous" rural community dedicated to food production and dependent on cities is oversimplified. The essays show that diversity of activities is not necessarily a function of population size and that social stratification and economic specialization are well developed in rural as well as urban contexts.
