Iran's heritage is as varied as it is complex, and the
archaeological, philological, and linguistic scholarship of the
region has not been the focus of a comprehensive study for many
decades. The Oxford Handbook of Ancient Iran provides up-to-date,
authoritative essays on a wide range of topics extending from the
earliest Paleolithic settlements in the Pleistocene era to the Arab
conquest in the 7th century AD. The volume, authored by specialists
based both inside and outside of Iran, is divided into sections
covering prehistory, the Chalcolithic, the Bronze Age, the Iron
Age, the Achaemenid period, the Seleucid and Arsacid periods, the
Sasanian period, and the Arab conquest. In addition, more
specialized chapters are included which treat numismatics,
religion, languages, political ideology, calendrics, the use of
color, textiles, Sasanian silver and reliefs, and political
relations with Rome and Byzantium. No other single volume covers as
much of Iran's archaeology and history with the same degree of
authority. Drawing on the results of the latest fieldwork in Iran
and studies by scholars from around the world, this volume
addresses a longstanding gap in the literature of the ancient Near
East.
