Course Goal / Objective
This two-semester course gives to students a framework of Mesopotamian archaeology, from the Palaeolithic to the disappearance of the Mesopotamian civilization. The first semester of the course introduces the natural conditions of Mesopotamia and reviews the prehistoric foundations and early development of the Mesopotamian civilization, to the Early Dynastic period.
Course Content
After describing the geographical and environmental character of Mesopotamia and briefly reviewing the early prehistory (Palaeolithic and aceramic Neolithic) of the region, the course examines the development of Ceramic Neolithic and Chalcolithic cultures and complex societies, with emphasis on the Ubaid and Uruk periods. The semester concludes with the Sumerian and related societies of the Early Dynastic period.
