Abstract: |
The field of the archaeology of Eastern Civilizations was introduced relatively recently at the University of Athens (in 2009 and onward) and is one of the compulsory courses within the Department of History and Archaeology. Unfortunately, there are very few books in Greek that focus on the ancient Near East. For this reason, I authored the book "Prehistoric Mesopotamia (ISBN: 978-960-354-330-5)," which covers the period between the 10th and 4th millennia BC and is available through the EUDOXUS system. Additionally, to cover the period between the 3rd millennium and early 1st millennium BC, I prepared the present book. By utilizing the format of an electronic textbook and incorporating the interactive elements mentioned in section B14, I hope that the book will make this new field of study more accessible to the Greek public. The book offers a concise introduction to the history and archaeology of the Near East (Anatolia, Levant, Egypt, Mesopotamia). It will primarily be aimed at undergraduate and postgraduate archaeology students, as well as members of the Greek Archaeological Service. However, it will also be useful to teachers and anyone from the general public who wishes to gain information on the subject.
