Urban layout in the Middle and Late Bronze Age Levant

Abstract

The 2nd millennium BC is a multifaceted period which, from the beginning of the urban system in the Middle Bronze Age II to its end in the Late Bronze Age, is subject to numerous political, economic and cultural changes. These changes also affect the settlements leading to the emergence of different urban models: uniform and shared in the Middle Bronze Age III, heterogeneous and individual in the Late Bronze Age II.
