This book, consisting of 12 contributions, amalgamates the most recent
results from archaeological research in the Upper Mesopotamian piedmont.
Under the growing influence of expanding territorial states which had
become established during the 2nd millennium BC, this region
experienced a substantial change in social and political life during
that time. The discussion is centered around settlement shapes,
developments in the material culture, as well as written documents that
attest to this change. In summary, this book emphasizes the significant
roll of archaeological research in the reconstruction of models
concerning the formation and transformation of political space in the
ancient world.
