Mesopotamia and the East (Oxford University Committee for Archaeology Monograph Ser No. 37.)

By Timothy Potts

This is a comprehensive study of a wide-ranging subject in the period covering the rise and early development of urban civilization in the Near East. Critically assessing a diverse body of archaeological and textual evidence, it aims to be of use to students of ancient Mesopotamia and a useful case-study for anthropologists, archaelogists and historians with a cross-cultural interest in the role of trade and booty in the emergence of complex societies, the relationship between trade and conquest, the integration of archaeological and textual evidence, and related issues.
