The essays combine archaeological and historical approaches to further understanding of how this major empire approached the challenge of controlling frontiers as diverse and far-flung as Central and Eastern Europe, Anatolia, Iraq, Arabia, and the Sudan.\n \nRanging across the 15th to early 20th centuries, essays cover frontier fortifications, administration, society, and economy and shed light on the Ottomans' interaction with their neighbours, both Muslim and Christian, through warfare, trade and diplomacy. As well as summing up the current state of knowledge they also point the way to fresh avenues of research. \n \n The Frontiers of the Ottoman World will be essential reading for historians and archaeologists of the Middle East and early modern Central and Eastern Europe. Giving a particular prominence to the nascent discipline of Ottoman archaeology, the volume will also be of particular interest to students of Islamic archaeology.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Archaeology by period \/ region [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Archaeology by period \/ region\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Archaeology%20by%20period%20\/%20region%20%5BHDD%5D%22\"\u003eHDD\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"OUP Oxford","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52253134520600,"sku":"9780197264423","price":98.39,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9780197264423.jpg?v=1781271972","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/the-frontiers-of-the-ottoman-world-hardback-9780197264423","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
