Our current world is characterized by life in cities, the existence
of social inequalities, and increasing individualization. When and
how did these phenomena arise? What was the social and economic
background for the development of hierarchies and the first cities?
The authors of this volume analyze the processes of centralization,
cultural interaction, and social differentiation that led to the
development of the first urban centres and early state formations
of ancient Eurasia, from the Atlantic coasts to China. The
chronological framework spans a period from the Neolithic to the
Late Iron Age, with a special focus on the early first millennium
BC. By adopting an interdisciplinary approach structured around the
concepts of identity and materiality, this book addresses the
appearance of a range of key phenomena that continue to shape our
world.
