TRADE THROUGH THE DESERT: A LONG-TERM PERSPECTIVE ON GOODS, ANIMALS, AND POLITIES IN THE NEGEV

Caravan trade in the Near East, and in the Negev, is the culmination of millennia of cumulative social and technological development, essentially an expression of complex economy societies with large-scale markets. The origins of caravan trade systems are to be sought in the specifics of their histo...
