Uruk
Uruk ((modern: al‐Warka’; Sumerian: unu(g) ki ; OT: ‘rk; Greek: Ὀρχόη) is a city in southern Iraq, identified by W. K. Loftus in 1849 and excavated from 1912 to 1985 by German archaeologists.
The Cambridge World History
From the fourth millennium BCE to the early second millennium CE the world became a world of cities. This volume explores this critical transformation, from the appearance of the earliest cities in Mesopotamia and Egypt to the rise of cities in Asia and the Mediterranean world, Africa, and the Americas. Through case studies and comparative accounts of key cities across the world, leading scholars chart the ways in which these cities grew as nodal…

Geschichte Altvorderasiens
Jeder, der bei den Hochkulturen Vorderasiens nur an Mesopotamien denkt, wird durch Hans J. Nissen eines Besseren belehrt: Er konzentriert seinen Blick nicht starr auf Mesopotamien. Die gesamte Region wird als dynamisches Gebilde, dessen Einzelteile in intensiver Abhängigkeit zueinander stehen, erfasst. Innerhalb eines Zeitraums von 8000 Jahren - von ihren Anfängen bis zum Ende durch die Kriegszüge Alexanders des Großen - zeichnet er die Entwicklu…

The archaic texts from Uruk
Around 4000 clay tablets have been found in the excavations at Uruk in Lower Iraq; these date to the end of the 4th and the beginning of the 3rd millennium B.C. The first part of the article is devoted to the problem of their exact date and their assignment to building levels, since all the tablets were found in rubbish deposits. The second part deals with the emergence of writing, since the documents from Uruk are thought to be the oldest known.…
The Emergence of Writing in the Ancient Near East
The oldest known writing stems from Babylonia, around 3100 BC, and more than 4000 clay tablets and fragments from that period have been found in Uruk during German excavations. A fresh approach has been made finding that 85% of all texts are economic records, the remainder being the lexical texts; it is postulated that writing came into existence as a means to control the economy. The course of decipherment will be described and 700 out of the 10…

Trade and Politics in Proto-Elamite Iran [and Comments and Reply]
During the Proto-Elamite period, 3300-2800 B.C., a political and economic hegemony seems to have arisen in the southwestern highlands of Iran. The power of this hegemony was derived from its control over the major trade routes between the Iranian plateau and Mesopotamia; its extent is defined by shared styles in ceramics, art, and architecture and by the use of a distincitive system of writing and recording. Proto-Elamite influence grew rapidly d…
The Balance of Trade in Southwestern Asia in the Mid-Third Millennium B.C. [and Comments and Reply]
Trade frequently is considered an important and distinct subsystem that is integrated within a prehistoric cultural system. This paper rejects this interpretation and attempts a structural analysis of a specific trading network that existed in southwestern Asia in the mid-3d millennium B.C. in order to uncover the motivational factors and contradictions operative in trading relationships. An ideal dichotomy between sparsely populated, resource-ri…
