"Encompassing a landmass greater than the rest of the Near East and Eastern Mediterranean
combined, the Arabian peninsula remains one of the last great unexplored regions of
the ancient world. This book provides the first extensive coverage of the archaeology
of this region from c. 9000 to 800 BC. Peter Magee argues that a unique social system,
which relied on social cohesion and actively resisted the hierarchical structures
of adjacent states, emerged during the Neolithic and continued to contour society
for millennia later. The book also focuses on how the historical context in which
Near Eastern archaeology was codified has led to a skewed understanding of the multiplicity
of lifeways pursued by ancient peoples living throughout the Middle East"
