Early Bronze Age Goods Exchange in the Southern Levant provides an
overview of all the commodities of the Early Bronze Age of the
Southern Levant for which we know their sources and distribution.
But this is not just a survey or a simple list of finds. Included
are methodological discussions of several topics which make
original contributions regarding the interpretation of production
centres and the way the goods arrived to the distribution points.
The most original contribution of this volume is in the entire
interpretation and theoretical framework it provides regarding the
exchange of commodities in a precapitalistic society; that is,
utilizing mainly the methods of the critique to the political
economy (Marxism), ethnoarchaeology and economic anthropology. The
volume emphasizes the internal economic developments in the early
history of the Southern Levant that can be studied using
archaeological sources in the framework of modern theories of human
development. It is a kind of work on economic history with
non-written sources, although it uses historical written sources
from neighboring cultures and late documents from our region to
compare and derive conclusions.
