AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This is a study of the Uruk settlement at Jebel Aruda, a site located in the Khafse district of Syria. Van Driel presents a detailed study of the structural remains of a temple, a 'temple terrace', a building referred to in the text as a 'house', and two buildings united with one another to form a single unit, which from the context of the article, also seem to represent dwellings. Descriptive analyses of the contents of the structures noted above are minimal.
