Summary:
This urban site on the edge of the steppe was occupied from about 2400
to 1900 B.C. In the earlier part of that period the ties with
Mesopotamia were strongest. Later, trade with the West became more
important.
The report, to which Diederik J.W. Meijer, Glenn
M. Schwartz and many others have contributed, deals with habitation and
funeral remains, as well as with the numerous objects made of baked clay
and other finds.
