Peoples of the distant past lived comfortably in cities that
boasted well-conceived urban planning, monumental architecture,
running water, artistic expression, knowledge of mathematics and
medicine, and more. Without the benefits of modern technology, they
enjoyed all the accoutrements of modern civilization. Technology of
the Ancient Near East brings together in a single volume what is
known about the technology behind these acheivements, based on the
archaeological, textual, historic, and scientific data drawn from a
wide range of sources, focusing on subjects such as warfare,
construction, metallurgy, ceramics and glass, water management, and
time keeping. These technologies are discussed within the cultural,
historic, and socio-economic contexts within which they were
invented and the book emphasises these as the foundation upon which
modern technology is based. In so doing, this study elucidates the
ingenuity of ancient minds, offering an invaluable introduction for
students of ancient technology and science.
