ARCANE – Associated Regional Chronologies for the Ancient Near East – Tigridian Region

The volume is the result of the work of the Tigridian regional group of the European Science Foundation- funded ARCANE project, whose goal was to produce a reliable relative and absolute chronology of the ancient Near East and Eastern Mediterranean for the Early Bronze Age, based on the synchronisation of the different regional chronologies. It is edited by the group's team leaders, and contains ten richly illustrated contributions, by internationally recognised experts, about different aspetct of the material culture of the Upper Tigris region. It proposes a new and an unified terminology, and thus represents the most updated synthesis on the Early Bronze Age archaeology of the area.
