AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This study considers the Ubaid period in Iraq focusing mainly on the Hamrin region where some sixteen Ubaid sites were excavated. It discusses the environmental situation and investigates the resource potential of the area. It describes, in general, the Ubaid assemblages from each site and investigates the relationships between them; it describes in detail and analyzes the Ubaid assemblage from the largest of these sites, tell Abada, and tries to distinguish its role in the region and to establish its chronological position. It makes a careful comparative and analytical study of a wide range of materials, in particular the pottery, from all of the Ubaid sites in the region. It discusses the distribution of the Ubaid sites in the Hamrin region and considers the implications of such distributions in this part of Iraq. It also investigates settlement patterns and considers various aspects involved with community patterns of the Ubaid people in the region (p. vii).
