Archaeology of the South Caucasus
From
Hannah Chazin is exploring the connections between pastoralism and political authority in the ancient South Caucasus. Her research traces how modern ideas about human nature shaped accounts of pastoralism, reducing the value of herd animals to merely cash or calories and obscuring the dynamism of ancient pastoralist societies.
