From the Chalcolithic to the Early Bronze Age in Syro-Palestine: Reviewing the Second Urbanization Model

Until a few years ago, it was claimed that in Syria had existed two phases of urbanization, the rst during the second half of the 4th millennium, and the second at the middle of the 3rd, which includes the region of Palestine.

From this situation it was posed a structural diference between both urbanizations, the rst being more linked to irrigational agriculture of the southern Mesopotamia and the organization of the temple, and the second to dry-farming and the organization of the palace. However, recent excavations shows that during the first half of the 4th millennium important urban settlements already existed in Syria, and they also appeared earlier in both Lebanon and Palestine. The aim of this paper is to demonstrate that Syria shared the same trends towards urbanization as other regions of the Near East, due to the multiple contacts they had for a long time, but that its rhythm depended on local conditions, so instead of two phases we prefer to talk about the same urbanization process, whose culmination came only in the middle of the Early Bronze Age. Hasta hace pocos años, se sostenía que en Siria habín existido dos fases de urbanización, la primera durante la segunda mitad del IV milenio, y la siguiente mediados del III milenio, la cual incluía también la región de Palestina. A partir de esta situación se planteaba una diferencia estructural entre ambas urbanizaciones, estando la primera más vinculada a la agricultura de irrigación del Sur de la Mesopotamia y a la organización del templo, y la segunda a la agricultura de secano y a la organización del palacio. Sin embargo, excavaciones recientes indican que durante la primera mitad del IV milenio ya existían en Siria importantes asentamientos urbanos y que los mismos también aparecerán de manera más temprana tanto en Líbano como en Palestina. El objetivo de este artículo es demostrar que Siria compartía las mismas tendencias hacia la urbanización que otras regiones del Cercano Oriente, debido a los múltiples contactos que tenían desde antaño, pero que su ritmo dependía de condiciones locales, por lo que en lugar de dos fases preferimos hablar de un mismo proceso de urbanización, cuya culminación se produjo recién a mediados de la Edad del Bronce Antiguo.
