Ancient Mesopotamia Hardback
by Susan (State University of New York, Binghamton) Pollock
Part of the Case Studies in Early Societies series
Hardback
Description
This book is an in-depth treatment of the antecedents and first florescence of early state and urban societies in the alluvial lowlands of Mesopotamia over nearly three millennia, from approximately 5000 to 2100 BC.
Susan Pollock's approach is explicitly anthropological, and draws on contemporary theoretical perspectives to enrich our understanding of the ancient Mesopotamian past.
It explores the ways people of different genders and classes contributed and responded to changes in political, economic, and ideological realms.
The interpretations are based on studies of regional settlement patterns, faunal remains, artifact distributions and activity patterning, iconography, texts and burials.
