This collection of twenty-eight essays presents an up-to-date
survey of pre-Islamic Iran, from the earliest dynasty of Illam to
the end of Sasanian empire, encompassing a rich diversity of
peoples and cultures. Historically, Iran served as a bridge between
the earlier Near Eastern cultures and the later classical world of
the Mediterranean, and had a profound influence on political,
military, economic, and cultural aspects of the ancient world.
Written by international scholars and drawing mainly on the field
of practical archaeology, which traditionally has shared little in
the way of theories and methods, the book provides crucial pieces
to the puzzle of the national identity of Iranian cultures from a
historical perspective. Revealing the wealth and splendor of
ancient Iranian society - its rich archaeological data and
sophisticated artistic craftsmanship - most of which has never
before been presented outside of Iran, this beautifully illustrated
book presents a range of studies addressing specific aspects of
Iranian archaeology to show why the artistic masterpieces of
ancient Iranians rank among the finest ever produced. Together, the
authors analyze how archaeology can inform us about our cultural
past, and what remains to still be discovered in this important
region.
