	Interview with Mario Liverani
		In the Near East, the frontiers between rain-fed agriculture and dry farming, between agro-pastoralism and nomadism are not only very complex but also change through time.
		But in the last 40 years another major change in the reconstruction of ancient history is the coordinate (and not alternative) use of the archaeological evidence, and a different practice of archaeology (more attentive to territory than to monuments).
		On the other hand, the maximalists will unavoidably become more conscious that their naive way in reading ancient texts has been dismissed long ago not only by Biblical scholars, but by historians dealing with every period and problem of ancient and modern and (especially) contemporary history.
