Zusammenfassung:Potts examines the development of nomadism in Iran over the course of three millennia. Evidence of nomadism in prehistory is examined and found insufficient to justify claims of its great antiquity.

Thereafter, evidence of nomadic groups in Late Antiquity and early Islamic times is reviewed
