Roots of Routes
Mobility and Networks between the Past and the Future
2023 || Paperback || Henny Piezonka e.a. || Sidestone Press

Humans and animals followed them. The routes directed the circulation of raw materials and goods. They determined the paths on which humans fled from misery and danger, and they constituted the physical and imagined veins of networks between communities. All these cultural and biological c...

Concepts of Resilience for the Study of Early Iranian Societies
2023 || Paperback || Reinhard Bernbeck e.a. || Sidestone Press

Byblos
A legacy unearthed
