James Mellaart, the renowned British archaeologist best known for his excavations at Çatalhöyük, draws on decades of fieldwork and scholarship to chronicle the development of Neolithic cultures across the Fertile Crescent, Anatolia, and the Levant. The work details the emergence of early farming villages, the domestication of plants and animals, and the rise of complex social structures, all illustrated with rich archaeological evidence. Written with authoritative clarity, it remains an essential reference for students and scholars seeking to understand the prehistoric foundations of Near Eastern civilisation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48956358230235,"sku":"2026100006075-SECONDHAND","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/261f51a6-5399-4763-bb26-4fdbc4efcff8.png?v=1783500163","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100006075-secondhand-the-neolithic-of-the-near-east","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
