Excavations at Tell Leilan and the Origins of North Mesopotamian cities in the Third Millennium B.C.

Year: 1983

Type: article

Abstract: The aggregate productivity of high-yield dry farming in northern Mesopotamia was apparently centralized ca. 2500-2400 B.C. within 90-100 hectare urban centers like Tell Leilan. This was perhaps an endogenous process which resulted in the formation of Hurrian dynasties.
