Early bronze age in Iraqi Kurdistan
Première édition
Over the past twenty years, numerous archaeological projects have been carried out in Northern Mesopotamia, in the Kurdistan region of Iraq, shedding light on the Early Bronze Age, corresponding to the 3rd millennium BCE. Lire la suite
This key period in the history of the Ancient Near East witnessed the progress from small, independent city-states
to a territorial unification under the Akkadian dynasty, and the birth of the first empire. While our understanding of
these territorial hegemonies is very largely based on texts that were left by the kings who created them and on the
results of excavations in Southern Mesopotamia, it is now possible to trace the history of Northern Mesopotamia at
this time, as well as the societies living in those fertile valleys and the Zagros piedmont. It is precisely this archaeological data on the Early Bronze Age in the Kurdistan region of Iraq that this publication gathers. Organized into four parts, the book features some twenty contributions that look at the occupation dynamics of macro-regions, urban phenomena, iconography,
material culture and ceramic production. These data now enable an overview of settlement patterns and cultural trends in this part of Mesopotamia, which tends to show that the area of present-day Iraqi Kurdistan was neither deserted nor inactive on the political scene, and was in intense contact with neighboring territories.
