解説
A COMPANION TO ANCIENT AGRICULTURE
An authoritative overview of agricultural development in the ancient world
A Companion to Ancient Agriculture investigates the history and development of agriculture in the ancient world, focusing primarily on the Near East and Mediterranean regions. This unique text explores the cultivation of the soil and rearing of animals through centuries of human civilization-from the Neolithic beginnings of agriculture to Late Antiquity. Chapters written by the leading scholars in their fields present a multidisciplinary examination of the agricultural methods and influences that have enabled humans to survive and prosper.
Consisting of thirty-one chapters, the Companion presents essays on a range of topics that include economic-political, anthropological, zooarchaeological, ethnobotanical, and archaeobotanical investigation of ancient agriculture. Chronologically-organized chapters offer in-depth discussions of agriculture in Bronze Age Egypt and Mesopotamia, Hellenistic Greece and Imperial Rome, Iran and Central Asia, and other regions. Sections on comparative agricultural history discuss agriculture in the Indian subcontinent and prehistoric China while an insightful concluding section helps readers understand ancient agriculture from a modern perspective.
