Stunning. Thank you. Still, how damaged these sites are now, what with the horror in Ukraine now.

How exciting! A follow up to Dawn of Everything that looks to continue the popular and successful trend to challenge tired academic assumptions.

"The state" is the enforcement apparatus of the private ownership mafia.

Such sites can be found also in Romania, Serbia, and the Balkans. But to assume that the lack of temples and administration buildings proves the lack of a centralized state is shallow and simplistic, power relationships can exist in many forms. check the Native American network of settlements that also lacked such structures, this is Sumero-centrism.
