Stability and Change: Socio-political development in North Mesopotamia and South-East Anatolia 4000-2700 BC

by Alan Lupton

The prime concern of this volume is the scale and type of contact between the societies of these two areas and the people of the Uruk culture which lay to the south. Indications of this contact are found in the material analogous building techniques, architectural plans, use of space, ceramic parallels and other similarities. The author looks at the patterns which emerge from settlement excavation data and assesses the levels of socio-political development between the regions.
