The Royal Tombs of Ur, dating from approximately 3000-2700 BCE, are
among the most famous and impressive archeological discoveries of
the twentieth century. Excavated between 1922 and 1934 under the
direction of Leonard Woolley, this site is one of the richest
sources of information we have about ancient Sumer--however, many
mysteries about the society that produced these tombs remain. Based
on primary research with the Ur materials at the University of
Pennsylvania Museum of Archeology and Anthropology, and paying
particular attention to the iconography found in what Woolley
referred to as the "Seal Impression Strata of Ur," this book works
to reconstruct the early history of Sumer. What was this society
like? What social structures did this society build? What were its
institutions of authority? The answers Petr Charv t proposes are of
interest not only to archeologists, but to anyone fascinated by
early human history.
