The Levantine Middle Bronze Age palatial architecture: local traditions and foreign influences. (original) (raw)

Abstract

The Middle Bronze Age is a periods of great exchange involving the different culture of the ancient Near East. This resulted sometimes in the use of a combination of various traditions, which in turn led to novel entwined trends. This interchange is quite evident in the material culture of the Levant, due to the area’s location between Egypt, Mesopotamia, Anatolia and the Aegean. This presentation examines the impressive MBA palaces, found at several sites stretching all over the Levant, focusing on cases which would allow to trace the different influences that shaped their architecture and identify the local tradition that survived within.
