Mesopotamia produced one of the best-known ancient civilizations, with a literate, urban culture and highly-developed political institutions. Drawing on the most up-to-date historical and archaeological sources, she provides a thematic exploration of this ancient civilization, examining its physical and historical background, changing settlement patterns, public and private architecture and cultural developments of the period. In this fully revised and expanded edition of her classic text, Sumer and the Sumerians, Harriet Crawford reviews the extraordinary social and technological developments in the region from 3800 to 2000 BC.
In addition, a new chapter on the contemporary developments in Upper Mesopotamia is included. In this new edition, the chapter on Manufacturing Industries and Trade has been enlarged and divided into two chapters. The final chapter reflects on the future of the heritage of Iraq in the aftermath of the second Gulf War.
