Daniel Potts is investigating archaeological, epigraphic, and literary evidence of nomadism in the ancient Near East, particularly the historical specificity of nomadic appearances in relation to state-level societies, and seeking to overturn assumptions about the permanence of nomadism in Near Eastern life since the beginnings of domestication (ca. 8000 BC).
