Based on the premise that similar social dynamics to a great extent governed nucleation trajectories throughout human history, \u003ci\u003eComing Together\u003c\/i\u003e focuses on both prehistoric aggregated and early urban settlements. Drawing from a variety of theoretical and methodological approaches, archaeologists, anthropologists, and classicists discuss how nucleation unfolded in strikingly different sociopolitical contexts in North America, Europe, and the Near East. The major themes of the volume are nucleation's origins, pathways to sustainability, and the transformative role of these sites in sociopolitical and cultural change.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAttila Gyucha \u003c\/b\u003eis Postdoctoral Research Scientist at the Field Museum of Natural History and the author of \u003ci\u003ePrehistoric Village Social Dynamics: the Early Copper Age in the Körös Region\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 402\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.1 x 9.9 x 7 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 02, 2020\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50369231814893,"sku":"9781438472768","price":70.02,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0020\/8918\/9441\/files\/Zr83298txB9781438472768.webp?v=1785426547","url":"https:\/\/www.webster.direct\/en-au\/products\/coming-together-comparative-approaches-to-population-aggregation-and-early-urbanization-paperback","provider":"Webster.Direct","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
