The Late Chalcolithic 1-4 sequence (4200-3400 BCE) at the site of Arslantepe will be discussed with the aim of enquiring issues of increasing complexity in a selection of spheres of the settlement’s life and relations with its surroundings: dimensions and organisation of the settlement, nature and function of its buildings, exploitation of natural resources, organization of the primary economy and of craftwork, and daily practices. Purpose of this is to provide data for and critically discuss modes and intensity of elite control over these spheres, contributing to the debate on contemporary developments of the overall Upper Mesopotamian regions (Tigris and Euphrates) and to a comparison with the Uruk world of southern Mesopotamia.

Abstract
The Late Chalcolithic 1-4 sequence (4200-3400 BCE) at the site of Arslantepe will be discussed with the aim of enquiring issues of increasing complexity in a selection of spheres of the settlement’s life and relations with its surroundings: dimensions and organisation of the settlement, nature and function of its buildings, exploitation of natural resources, organization of the primary economy and of craftwork, and daily practices. Purpose of this is to provide data for and critically discuss modes and intensity of elite control over these spheres, contributing to the debate on contemporary developments of the overall Upper Mesopotamian regions (Tigris and Euphrates) and to a comparison with the Uruk world of southern Mesopotamia.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
