Since the 1980s and 1990s, many archaeologists have shifted their focus from reconstructing culture, to individuals as active producers and participants in society. Here historians, art historians, archaeologists, anthropologists, and scholars of religion demonstrate how the notions of agency and identity have been applied to the study of the ancient Near East. In sections on place, daily practice, and power, they consider such topics as movement across the landscape and residential stability in the southern Levantine Early Bronze Age; subsistence actions at Çatalhöyük; the practice of decorating Late Neolithic pottery in northern Mesopotamia; whether early Islamic pottery indicates a revolution in diet and dining habits; Assyrians, Aramaeans, and the indigenous peoples of Iron Age southeastern Anatolia; and the Hittite state.
