uruk mesopotamia & its neighbors : cross-cultural interactions in the era of state formation • Sante Fe, Nm • Published In 2001 • Pages: 307-347
By: Frangipane, M. (Marcella).
Abstract
Relations between Lower Mesopotamia and the northern regions of theTigris and Euphrates Basins have become a key topic in the debate over the formative phases of the state in this part of the world (p. 307). In this article Frangipane discusses her approach to understanding north-south relations by viewing the phenomena from the standpoint of the north. This approach emphasizes the characteristics and trajectories of development in the north and then reconstructs 'the historical roots of their external relations' (Rothman, 2001, p. 14).
