Böcker av Hojjat Darabi

This volume brings together the latest results and discussions from research carried out in the eastern Fertile Crescent, the so-called 'hilly flanks', and adjacent regions, as well as providing key historical perspectives on earlier fieldwork in the region.

During recent years new excavations at a number of Neolithic locations in the Central Zagros by German, British and Iranian archaeologists have revealed a series of important results. Notable are the Early Neolithic sites of Choga Golan, Jani, Sheikh-e Abad, and East Chia Sabz, all discovered and excavated within the last ten years. In this volume Hojjat Darabi gives a survey of the discoveries on which our knowledge is based. The book is set in a chronological frame, in an environmental context, and in a regional and theoretical perspective. It is illustrated by a number of useful photos, drawings charts and diagrams. The book is a presentation of our knowledge about Neolithic Revolution as it appears right now; in addition, it provides an outline of further steps for future research.
