Description
Sumer and the Sumerians by Harriet E. W. Crawford provides an in-depth exploration of one of the most significant ancient civilizations, Mesopotamia. This fully revised edition examines the social and technological developments in the region from 3800 to 2000 BC, drawing on the latest historical and archaeological sources. The book delves into the physical and historical background of Sumerian culture, including changing settlement patterns, public and private architecture, and cultural developments of the period. A new chapter has been added on contemporary developments in Upper Mesopotamia, while an enlarged section on manufacturing industries and trade provides a detailed look at this aspect of Sumerian society. This updated edition offers a comprehensive understanding of the Sumerians' legacy, reflecting on the future of their heritage in the aftermath of the second Gulf War.
