500 |a "On 22 and 23 February 2013, the Forschungsschwerpunkt Historische Kulturwissenschaften at the Johannes-Gutenberg-Universitat Mainz organized an international symposium ... The present, peer-reviewed volume offers the proceedings of this symposium."--Preface

Adopting an approach of cultural ecology, it addresses issues like ancient land use, administration and taxation, irrigation, and religious concepts.
