As archaeologists debate dramatic changes in society during the Bronze Age in south-eastern Arabia, Professor of Classical and Near Eastern Archaeology Peter Magee weighs in on the topic in an article in The National (UAE).
From the article:
“Decades of research in Arabia have highlighted the fact that many of the communities that lived there did not embark on the march towards state-level complexity, but rather maintained a society based upon cohesion,” said Peter Magee, a professor of archaeology and director of Middle East studies at Philadelphia’s Bryn Mawr College.
