Situated roughly midway between the great cities of the Indus
Valley and those of the Mesopotamian plains, Tepe Yahya occupies a
special place in our conceptions of relations between these distant
territories during the early Bronze Age. Its third-millennium
levels, dating from 3000 to 2100 B.C., are particularly
important.
In this definitive study, D.T. Potts describes the
stratigraphy, architecture, ceramics, and chronology of the site
and presents a full inventory of the small finds. Holly Pittman
contributes comprehensive illustrations and a discussion of the
seals and sealings, and Philip Kohl provides an analysis of the
carved chlorite industry. In a foreword and afterword, project
director C.C. Lamberg-Karlovsky tells the story of the
archaeological expedition and reflects on the contributions of the
Tepe Yahya project.
