Title: The Protoelamite Settlement And Its Neighbors Tepe Yahya Period Ivc
Description: The site of Tepe Yahya in southeastern Iran is famous, among other important aspects, for the Proto-Elamite complex dated to around 3000 BC (Period IVO). The material culture of Period IVC is not exclusively limited to its Proto-Elamite component, but it is also characterized by the presence of elements from other middle-Asian culture ceramic traditions. In addition to a synthesis of the Proto-Elamite sphere, its relations to Mesopotamia, and its eastern Middle Asian neighbors. This innovative book illustrates that the "multi-cultural" situation at Tepe Yahya Period IVC was present across many cites in Middle Asia and that, in addition to the Proto-Elamite sphere and the cities of Mesopotamia, middle Asia around 3000 BC was incorporated within an interactive "multi-players" network of polities.
