The Complicated World of the Bronze Age Near East: Interview with Aaron Burke
Tides of History
The reality of the Bronze Age Near East was much messier and harder to understand than a straightforward story of city-states, empires, and kings.

Professor Aaron Burke of UCLA joins us to talk about mobility, migration, and the formation of identities in the ancient Near East.
