Rubina Raja og @UrbNet1 har i flere år haft et ønske om at tilbyde børn undervisning i arkæologi. Nu er ønsket blevet til virkelighed i et forløb med @Videnskabsklub , hvor 4-5 klasser for første gang nogensinde kan gå til arkæologi.👏👇 #Grundforsk #dkvid #dkforsk

This book is a comparative perspective on early cities, from a social-science perspective. It covers population, economics, & politics, and examines both top-down and bottom-up influences on urban life. There are 29 case studies, and many illustrations. bit.ly/40iU33d
