| Abstract | ||
| (Abstract Research) This study deals with the region of the Babylon governorate in Iraq during the Proto-Literate and Early Dynastic periods. It is the region of the well- known ancient capital Babylon. The earlier period includes Late Uruk, Jamdat nasr, and the first epoch of the Early Dynastic period. The latter includes the second and third epochs of the Early Dynastic period. The both periods had lasted more than one thousand years (3500-2334 BC). The Proto-Literate period had a special importance since it was the period of the first writing invention and the emergence of the first cities beside the formation of the first states. The early Dynastic period witnessed the evolving of those accomplishments and other fundamental developments in the history of ancient Mesopotamian civilization. The study introduces the archaeological evidence of the first occupation in the region, and sheds new light on its ancient history through the results of archaeological excavation in the site of Jemdet Nasr which the perod was called the local name on that era. The study exposes also the cities and rivers that existed in the region during the Early in Dynastic period. This is regarded as a new horizon in the history of the region before the Sargonic period. | ||
