"This volume explores a series of linked themes that have wide relevance in world
archaeology: sedentarisation, urbanisation and state formation. In this opening chapter
we review some of the key background to recent debate on these themes and identify
some of the Saharan particularities which complicate the application of models developed
elsewhere"
