The existence of an opposition between rural and urban spaces is an
important question for our societies, and one that has been posed
since the radical transformations of the 20th century and the
so-called 'end of the peasants'. In this context it becomes also a
question for archaeologists and historians. This book assembles
contributions on the place of agricultural production in the
context of urbanization in the Late Bronze and Early Iron Age
Mediterranean. The contributions concentrate on the
second-millennium Aegean and the protohistoric northwestern
Mediterranean. They offer a reflection on the nature of
urbanization and its consequences for rural spaces near cities and
on the many ways in which rural spaces and agricultural activities
may be intertwined with urban spaces - a reconsideration of the
very nature of urbanism. A deliberate accent is laid on the
comparative perspectives between different regions and periods of
Mediterranean protohistory, and on the integration of all kinds of
sources and research methods, from texts to survey to environmental
archaeology. Highlighted throughout are the original paths followed
in the Peloponnese or in the Troad with regard to the Minoan model
of urbanization, and the many aspects and periods of Minoan
urbanization (as in development in Languedoc vis-a-vis Catalonia).
Thus a new perspective on Mediterranean urbanization is offered.
