{"product_id":"9781785704208","title":"Invention and Innovation: The Social Context of Technological Change 2: Egypt, the Aegean and the Near East, 1650-1150 B.C.","description":"In September 2002, a second workshop on the theme of the  social context of technological change was held at the McDonald  Institute for Archaeological Research, University of Cambridge.  Discussion has been the core of these meetings so far, with the  aim being to relate the results of the specialist investigator to  broad historical questions concerning the nature and development  of ancient societies. The papers presented here address a wider  context: geographically, with the inclusion of the Aegean and  thematically, with papers on natural products and raw materials.  The time frame remains the same in covering the Late Bronze  Age\/New Kingdom. The majority of the papers draw on Egyptian  evidence, and illustrate a multiplicity of approaches to the  problems set by ancient technologies: modelling, methodology of  art history and archaeology applied to a problematic group of  artefacts, integration of archaeological and textual sources, and  the application of the results scientific analysis to illuminate  ancient technology.","brand":"Oxbow Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47183281193200,"sku":"9781785704208","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781785704208_p0.jpg?v=1763728440","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781785704208","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
