| Yhteenveto: | Abstract. Despite its importance as the foundation of the later urban south Mesopotamian landscape, the Early Uruk period has seldom been examined. This paper presents recent survey work at the Early Uruk site of Jemdat Zabi, located in the Sumer district in the Al-Qadisiya Governorate, Southern Iraq. From ths work at the site, we were able to record a wide variety of objects and document visible architectural remains on the surface dating to the Early Uruk period. Here we will provide a brief summary of the Early Uruk period, discuss our findings from the site of Jemdat Zabi and contextualize these findings within our overall understanding of the period. The aim here is to start a conversation about this period through the function of Jemdat Zabi as a town and its role in the region during this period. |
