| Tóm tắt: | It is a great pleasure to be able to record my thanks to the many people and
institutions that have contributed towards this book. The award of a British
Academy Research Readership was essential to enable both travel and
reading and the time to rethink the questions of why agriculture happened
and the appearance of people like ourselves. As important was the
opportunity provided by Dr Julie Hansen, who invited me for a semester
as a Visiting Professor to research and teach at the Department of
Archaeology, Boston University, funded by a Humanities Foundation
Fellowship. My seminar class at Boston were among the first to hear the
ideas in this book and set me right on a number of points; Ben Vining,
Susan Mentzer, Satoru Murata, Menaka Rodriguez, Rita Pelosi and Sophie
Telgezter. I should also like to thank Curtis Runnells, Priscilla Murray and
David Stone for all their hospitality and good conversation. Across the
Charles River a special debt goes to the staff of the Tozzer library and to
Ofer Bar-Yosef at the Peabody Museum, Harvard: his encouragement is
infectious and his generosity with data and ideas helped this project
immensely. Unexpected travel opportunities came through C5 and the
filming of a documentary series ‘Where do we come from?’ broadcast in
2002. The production team of Michael Proudfoot, Jessica Whitehead,
Jim Sayer and James Routh made light of remote destinations and in six
months I saw more than I could have bargained for. I was also able to meet
with many friends and make new ones both off and on camera. To all of
them, thank you for your patience and your knowledge. |
