This volume explores early complex society and nascent urbanism,
based in studies of Mesopotamia during the fifth-fourth millennia
bc. Urbanism in the Near East has traditionally been located in
late fourthmillennium bc southern Mesopotamia (south Iraq); but
recent excavations and surveys in northeast Syria and southeast
Turkey have identified a distinctively northern Mesopotamian
variant of this development, which can be dated to the early fourth
millennium bc. The authors use multiscalar approaches, including
material culturebased studies, settlement archaeology and regional
surveys, to achieve an understanding of the dynamics of early
urbanism across this key region. The book reveals the variety of
social, economic and political relationships that are implicit
within an urban centre and an urbanized society.
