Soft cover. Etat : Very Good. 1st Edition. 304-333 pages with maps. Royal octavo (10" x 6 3/4") in original publisher's volume 95 number 2 of the American Anthropologist. First edition. Immediately following on endogenous processes of state formation, many pristine civilizations expanded further by placing a variety of isolated core outposts as key junctions of their surrounding periphery. This cross-cultural phenomenon is documented here in reference to only Mesopotamian (Sumerian), Classic Mesoamerican (Teotihuacan), , Mature Harappan and Predynastic Egyptian civilizations. The commonality in the use of outposts in these otherwise very different civilizations is explained by three interconnected factors shared by many early states. First, the expanding economies of increasingly urbanized early state polities required regularized access to nonlocal resources. Second, for their own political ends elites in less-advanced surrounding communities would have been amenable to granting such access to early core societies. And, third, transportational constraints common to all premodern societies meant that the most efficient way to channel regular exchanges between distant geographic areas and differentially structured societies was by means of strategically positioned core outpost serving as collection points for peripheral resources and as distribution modes for core-manufactured prestige goods.

Etat : New. Idioma/Language: Español. En los últimos años, los estudios sobre los orígenes y formación de la civilización sumeria en la segunda mitad del IV milenio a. C. se han centrado en particular en la expansión exterior del llamado período de Uruk, que habría precedido directamente a la formación del estado sumerio en las tierras de aluvión de la Baja Mesopo tamia. La identificación de numerosas colonias de Uruk en el norte de Mesopotamia había llevado a los estudiosos a analizar este período clave (3900-3200 a. C. ) desde la óptica de la periferia, basándose en los planteamientos de la teoría de los sistemas-mundo. El presente libro recupera el estudio de los procesos socioeconómicos y políticos dentro de la propia llanura aluvial, analizando los orígenes sumerios desde la óptica del centro, es decir, desde el núcleo central sumerio y las fuerzas que operaron en la Baja Mesopotamia en el marco de un comercio asimétrico con una vasta periferia, que le permitió acumular recursos, riqueza y poder gracias al sistema colonial más antiguo conocido en el mundo. *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.

Etat : New. Idioma/Language: Español. Durante la denominada cultura de Uruk de finales del IV milenio a. C. el sur de Mesopotamia ya había logrado establecer un sistema económico capaz de vincular esta región, deficitaria de recursos, con su extensa periferia, mucho más rica pero menos desarrollada. Este sistema de interacciones se estableció mediante una auténtica expansión colonial de las gentes de Uruk hacia las llanuras del suroeste de Irán (Susa) y gracias a la fundación de enclaves estratégicos situados en las principales rutas de comunicación de los altiplanos del norte de Mesopotamia (Asiria y sureste de Anatolia). Este proceso puso en contacto a la primera civilización urbana conocida en la historia con regiones subdesarrolladas a través de un intercambio desigual y sentó las bases del nacimiento del poder, en el que la centralización política, la integración socioeconómica y la diáspora colonial vienen a ser las caras de una misma moneda. Un nuevo modelo sobre orígenes del Estado, basado en la lectura innovadora y sugerente de la documentación arqueológica más reciente y elaborado por uno de los mejores expertos actuales en el estudio de la formación de la civilización sumeria. El libro contiene un capítulo redactado especialmente para la edición castellana en el que el autor actualiza la información arqueológica obtenida estos últimos años en el Próximo Oriente. *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.
