Description
Summary:French archaeological activities undertaken at Grai Resh have provided evidence for a local centre from the late 5 th /beginning of the 4 th Millennium B.C. (between the Ubaid period and Uruk expansion) charactarized by long-distance contacts and exchanges, engaged in a competitive process that led to its destruction around 3600 B.C. and to the foundation of new settlements elsewhere.
Französischen Archäologen wiesen bei Ausgrabungen in Grai Resh einen lokalen Siedlungsplatz aus dem späten 5. bzw. frühen 4. Jt. v. Chr. (zwischen Obed-Zeit und der Uruk-Expansion) nach. Dieser war von weitreichenden Kontakten und Austausch bestimmt, sowie einer Konkurrenzsituation, die letztendlich seinen Untergang um 3600 v. Chr. besiegelt und zur Gründung neuer Siedlungen anderenorts beigetragen hat.
