Introduction

The Southern Levant was a thriving centre of religious and cultural exchange during the Bronze Age. Early Bronze Age Goods Exchange in the Southern Levant provides an overview of the sources and distribution of commodities.

Content Overview

The book presents a study of key production centres and the process of purchase and exchange. The book establishes a theoretical framework — based in political economy, ethnoarchaeology and economic anthropology — for understanding the exchange of commodities in a precapitalist society.

Unique Aspects

Early Bronze Age Goods Exchange in the Southern Levant is unique in presenting archaeological sources and prehistoric economics through modern, notably Marxist, theories of human development.
