This groundbreaking, five-volume series offers a comprehensive,
fully illustrated history of Egypt and Western Asia (the Levant,
Anatolia, Mesopotamia, and Iran), from the emergence of complex
states to the conquest of Alexander the Great. Written by a
diverse, international team of leading scholars whose expertise
brings to life the people, places, and times of the remote past,
the volumes in this series focus firmly on the political and social
histories of the states and communities of the ancient Near East.
Individual chapters present the key textual and material sources
underpinning the historical reconstruction, paying particular
attention to the most recent archaeological finds and their impact
on our historical understanding of the periods surveyed. The fifth
and final volume of the Oxford History of the Ancient Near East
covers the period from the second half of the 7th century BC until
the campaigns of Alexander III of Macedon (336-323 BC) brought an
end to the Achaemenid Dynasty and the Persian Empire. Tying
together areas and political developments covered by previous
volumes in the series, this title covers also the Persian Empire's
immediate predecessor states: Saite Egypt, the Neo-Babylonian
Empire, and Lydia, among other kingdoms and tribal alliances. The
chapters in this volume feature a wide range of archaeological and
textual sources, with contributors displaying a masterful treatment
of the challenges and advantages of the available materials. Two
chapters focus on areas that have not enjoyed prominence in any of
the previous volumes of this series: eastern Iran and Central Asia.
This volume is the necessary and complementary final component of
this comprehensive series.
