AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This is a study of one of the oldest known settlements in southern Iraq, Tell el'Oueili, at the time of the author's field work (1976-1987). Essentially this work discusses the 'palaeo-environment' of the 'Ubaid society during this early period, as based on stratigraphical analysis of the various occupational layers at the site. Emphasis in this work is on environmental conditions that prevailed at the beginning and the end of the period represented, rather than evolutionary changes with time. Also addressed in this document is the manner in which the population adjusted to changes in the environment during the late 'Ubaid period. In summary, Huot classifies the Tell el'Oueili economy as being based on cereal agriculture, with specialized stock-raising, supplemented by fishing.
