AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This monograph describes the results of the excavations carried out by the Iraq State Organization of Antiquities and Heritage during the years 1946-1949. This work offers a preliminary and simplified picture of the prehistory and history of Eridu, Iraq, a tell site at Abu Shahrain, during the 'Ubaid period. The author provides a detailed study of the evolution of religious architecture in Mesopotamia as represented at Eridu; an analysis of burials and grave goods at a 'Ubaid cemetery; typical buildings of the period; and a well-illustrated examination of 'Ubaid pottery types.
