The Kura-Araxes culture from the Caucasus to Iran, Anatolia and the Levant: Between unity and diversity

55,00

The Kura-Araxes culture, named after the two main rivers of the Southern Caucasus, spread from the second half of the 4th millennium over a vast area covering the Southern Caucasus, Eastern Anatolia and North-Western Iran. In the light of recent works carried out in these regions, this volume introduces new approaches and data to questions concerning the origin and expansion of this culture, by exploring elements of unity and diversity among the Kura-Araxes regional components as well as their interaction with other contemporary cultural phenomena.
