In this book, Anne Porter explores the idea that mobile and
sedentary members of the ancient world were integral parts of the
same social and political groups in greater Mesopotamia during the
period 4000 to 1500 BCE. She draws on a wide range of
archaeological and cuneiform sources to show how networks of social
structure, political and religious ideology, and everyday as well
as ritual practice, worked to maintain the integrity of those
groups when the pursuit of different subsistence activities
dispersed them over space. These networks were dynamic, shaping
many of the key events and innovations of the time, including the
Uruk expansion and the introduction of writing, so-called secondary
state formation and the organization and operation of government,
the literary production of the Third Dynasty of Ur and the first
stories of Gilgamesh, and the emergence of the Amorrites in the
second millennium BCE.
