Reviews

'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
