Considerations on the Role of Mobile Pastoralism in the Urbanization Process in the Southern Levant during the Bronze Age

The urbanization process in the Southern Levant implied a significant change for the sedentary population during the Bronze Age. Additionally, modifications have been observed in the archaeological record in the arid zones inhabited by mobile populations, apparently linked...

El proceso de urbanización en el sur del Levante implicó cambios significativos en las poblaciones sedentarias de la región durante el Bronce Antiguo. Asimismo, se observan modificaciones en el registro arqueológico de las zonas áridas habitadas por pastores móviles, aparentemente vinculado a la aparición de mercados urbanos. Se cree que el desarrollo de las economías pastoriles estuvo relacionado con las nuevas condiciones económicas, lo que habría estimulado el desarrollo de intercambios de bienes. El objetivo central de este estudio es analizar la influencia que tuvieron los asentamientos urbanos sudlevantinos en las poblaciones móviles de las regiones áridas, y viceversa, especialmente en relación con la participación de estas últimas en las redes de intercambio, necesarias para que se lleve a cabo la “revolución urbana”. Para ello, revisamos el registro arqueológico de algunos sitios asociados a grupos pastoriles para luego proponer algunas consideraciones respecto a las influencias mutuas entre las poblaciones móviles y las urbes. Consideramos que el rol de los pastores fue relevante, ya que los intercambios que se gestaron posibilitaron la acumulación de los bienes necesarios para el proceso de urbanización. application/pdf text/html https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/rihao/article/view/10922 10.34096/rihao.n22.10922 spa Instituto de Historia Antigua Oriental, Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, UBA https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/rihao/article/view/10922/9750 https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/rihao/article/view/10922/9764 Revista del Instituto de Historia Antigua Oriental 'Dr. Abraham Rosenvasser'; Núm. 22 (2021) 2683-9660 0325-1209 mobile pastoralism southern Levant exchanges urbanization pastoralismo móvil sur del Levante intercambios urbanización Considerations on the Role of Mobile Pastoralism in the Urbanization Process in the Southern Levant during the Bronze Age Consideraciones sobre el rol del pastoralismo móvil en el proceso de urbanización en el sur del Levante durante el Bronce Antiguo info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://repositoriouba.sisbi.uba.ar/gsdl/cgi-bin/library.cgi?a=d&c=rihao&d=10922_oai
