The Ubaid period (6th-5th millennia BC) saw the first establishment of towns and villages across Mesopotamia. This period provides the first evidence for the emergence of political leadership, economic differences between rich and poor, irrigation-based economies, dominating regional centers or towns, and the development of temples in these centers. In this lecture, Gil Stein discusses recent excavations at the Ubaid-period site of Tell Zeidan in Syria and the expansion of Ubaid culture across Mesopotamia. • ➡ Subscribe: http://bit.ly/UCHICAGOytSubscribe • About #UChicago: • Since its founding in 1890, the University of Chicago has been a destination for rigorous inquiry and field-defining research.
