In this book, Akkermans provides a systematic overview of the Halaf
culture in the Syrian portion of the valley of the Balikh River, a
tributary of the Euphrates. Following a broad exposition of the
geography of the region, excavation results, definition of
chronological periods within the Halaf, and patterns of site
distributions, interpretive questions are explored. These include
site types and the problems of determining site hierarchies, the
nature of Halaf subsistence, and the role of exchange in the Halaf
culture.
