As the first synthesis of Elamite archaeology to appear in English in over fifteen years, this volume will serve as a major resource for all scholars, students and laypeople interested in the ancient Near East.
- Chronological time depth: covers a wider span of time that covered in any other book on the region
- Combination of archeological, material and written documentary evidence
- Can be used in courses on the archaeology of Iran, Near Eastern archaeology, and the Biblical World
