Summary
Beginning with the history and context of Levantine Bronze Age research, this chapter defines the Levant as a conduit for people, ideas and goods circulating between western Asia, Egypt and the Eastern Mediterranean, and the Bronze Age as a formative period in social and political evolution. It provides an overview of the two trajectories covered by the volume and establishes the fourth-millennium backdrop of the broader region (western Asia and Egypt).
