AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
The chairs of the various sessions summarize the results of their sessions, providing an overview of what is known of the Jemdet Nasr period: where it is located, what is its relative time frame, and how it can be seen as a continuation from the Late Uruk to the Early Dynastic periods. The discussants then discuss how Jemdet Nasr looks from their areas and they comment on whether they would continue to use the term or would prefer to use a different term.
