{"product_id":"9781407314624","title":"Homesteads on the Khabur: Tell Ziyadeh and Other Settlements","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn 1994-1997, the Yale University Khabur Basin Project excavated Tell Ziyadeh on the Middle Khabur River of Northeastern Syria. This monograph describes two pioneering settlements: fifth millennium BC Ubaid and early third millennium. It discusses the research programme and strategies; reviews the modern and palaeoenvironments; and provides separate chapters describing the various excavation areas, as well as the ceramic, lithic, faunal and botanical remains found in them. Two chapters describe small-scale excavations at Mashnaqa and Kuran, sites with occupation histories paralleling Ziyadeh. The monograph concludes with a discussion of the immigration by fifth-millennium Ubaid settlers into a virgin landscape in the Khabur, and the gradual transition into a widespread Late Chalcolithic tradition. It provides a reconstruction of the realities of life in these small homesteads, which comprised a society of closely interacting settlements and remained viable for hundreds of years before moving elsewhere, as simultaneously as they had initially arrived.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith contributions by Jennifer Arzt, Benjamin Diebold, Miroslava Gregerová, Gregory Johnson, Nicholas Kouchoukos, Joy McCorriston, Scott Rufolo and Dalibor Všianský\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"British Archaeological Reports (Oxford) Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47043609428208,"sku":"9781407314624","price":160.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781407314624_p0.jpg?v=1763717889","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781407314624","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
