Correlates of Complexity is a tribute to Diederik J.W. Meijer as
a scholar, archaeologist, and friend, by an international group of
scholars from Britain, Denmark, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Syria,
Turkey, and the USA, on the occasion of his 65th birthday.
The
contributions range from the Neolithic to the Iron Age, with articles on
cylinder seals, architecture, nomadism, art, Old Assyrian and Ugaritic
texts, economic and cultural history, and include case studies from
Armenia, Greece, Turkey, Syria, and Palestine.
A general
aspect, reflected in several papers, concerns the rise and articulation
of complex societies in the ancient Near East, a topic which has been at
the centre of Meijer’s research interests throughout his career. Another
prominent aspect addressed in this volume is the modern relevance of the
ancient Near East. Several papers deal with the social reworking of data
on the ancient Near East, its relevance for modern economic theory, and
heritage management.
