Papers by Iranian Journal Archaeological Studies
What distinguishes this work is its extraordinary breadth. It explores many facets of Iranian history, including as subsistence techniques, technical developments, social structure, belief systems, and relationships with the environment, and spans a chronological period of more than a million years. Painting a vivid picture of societal evolution, it painstakingly breaks down each epoch, from the hunter-gatherers of the Palaeolithic to the sophisticated urban cultures of the Achaemenid Empire.
Such an enormous breadth demands a well-organized story. The twelve chapters that make up the book's structure each focus on a different time period or subject. Every chapter starts with a clear introduction that sets the scene and highlights the most important moments. The organisation of the material makes it simple for readers to explore the large quantity of content and go further into particular topics of interest.
