520 |a Although the need to study agriculture in different parts of the world on its "own terms" has long been recognized and re-affirmed, a tendency persists to evaluate agriculture across the globe using concepts, lines of evidence and methods derived from Eurasian research.

Contributions to this volume rethink agriculture, whether in terms of existing regional chronologies, in terms of.
