Description: Leiden ; Boston : Brill, 2020. | Series: Studies in the archaeology and history of the Levant, 2589-2495 ; volume 9 | Includes bibliographical references and index. | Summary: “In Byblos in the Late Bronze Age, Marwan Kilani reconstructs the “biography” of the city of Byblos during the Late Bronze Age. Commonly described simply as a centre for the trade of wood, the city appears here as a dynamic actor involved in multiple aspects of the regional geopolitical reality. By combining the information provided by written sources and by a fresh reanalysis of the archaeological evidence, the author explores the development of the city during the Late Bronze Age, showing how the evolution of a wide range of geopolitical, economic and ideological factors resulted in periods of prosperity and decline. — Provided by publisher.
