A thorough exploration of
the nature and processes that led to civilization can be
successfully accomplished by examining well-known
archaeological areas in depth and within a comparative
framework. This newly revised edition of Ancient Civilizations
embraces this useful approach and remains the only in-depth
overview that provides detailed discussions of both New World
and Old World civilizations within the same book. The material
is well presented in a lively yet authoritative manner by two
highly regarded anthropologists. All educators and readers
concerned with the factual and theoretical issues surrounding
ancient civilizations in the Near East, South and Central
Asia, and Mesoamerica will find this to be an indispensable
volume. A considerably expanded concluding chapter provides
insights into some of the current debates about the
development of ancient civilizations.
