Description

The Neolithic is thought to have arrived in Egypt via diffusion from an origin in southwest Asia, relatively late compared to neighboring locations. The authors suggest an alternative approach to understanding the development of food production in Egypt based on the results of new fieldwork in the Fayum. They provide the results of a detailed study of the Fayum archaeological landscape interpretable at different temporal and spatial scales, using an expanded version of low-level food production to organize observations concerning paleoenvironment, socioeconomy, settlement, and mobility. While domestic plants and animals were indeed introduced from elsewhere, when a number of aspects of the archaeological record are compared, a settlement system is suggested that has no obvious analogues with the Neolithic in southwest Asia. The results obtained from the Fayum are used to assess other contemporary sites in Egypt. Review 'A landmark publication for Egyptian prehistory and for the general understanding of cultural and environmental change in North Africa and the Meditterranean.' David Wengrove, Professor of Comparative Archaeology, UCL Institute of Archaeology, USA 'This book results from a remarkable international collaboration that brings together archaeological and geoarchaeological data to provide a new landscape understanding of the early to mid-Holocene in the Desert Fayum. The results are of great significance, demonstrating a distinct regional character to the adoption of farming and substantiating the wider evidence for a polycentric development of the Neolithic in the Middle East. This is interdisciplinary archaeology at its best.' Ian Hodder, Dunlevie Family Professor, Department of Anthropology, Stanford University, USA About the Author Simon J.
