\u003cb\u003eAlan Greaves\u003c\/b\u003e is Lecturer in Archaeology at The University of Liverpool. He is the author of \u003ci\u003eMiletos: A History\u003c\/i\u003e (2002) and the editor of the volume \u003ci\u003eTransanatolia\u003c\/i\u003e (2007). He has also written numerous articles on Bronze Age-Iron Age archaeology in Turkey, Ionia, and Greek Colonization. During the formative years of the archaic period, Ionia was one of the most important regions of the ancient world; however, Ionia’s local identity has often been overlooked in scholarly works. This long overdue study of Archaic Ionia seeks to redress this omission. Drawing from over a century of archaeological research, the book identifies and examines the key socio-economic factors that distinguish the land of Ionia and its people from the broader Greek mainland. \u003cp\u003eAccess to German and Turkish scholarship provides a useful point of entry to the published literature for academics and students. Accessibly written and thoroughly researched, \u003ci\u003eThe Land of Ionia\u003c\/i\u003e offers new perspectives on issues of identity and historical tradition in one of the least understood regions of ancient world.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wiley-Blackwell","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47990273900773,"sku":"NP9781119025566","price":32.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9781119025566.jpg?v=1761787156","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/products\/the-land-of-ionia-isbn-9781119025566","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
