SUMMARY:The Politics of Flood and Flow in Early Dynastic Lagash:
DTSTART:20240228T223000Z
DTEND:20240228T233000Z
DESCRIPTION:This lecture will take place in person at ISAW. Registrati
 on is required\; click through for the registration link. New research
  in southern Iraq at the ancient city of Lagash\, modern Tell al-Hiba\
 , indicates that systemic flooding contributed to the site's demise at
  the end of Sumer's Early Dynastic period\, circa 2,350 BCE. We know f
 rom contemporary sources that the "Lagash-Umma Border Conflict," compr
 ising the earliest record in both text and image of organized violence
 \, involved a territorial dispute between the rival city-states of Lag
 ash and Umma over water in the Gu'edena\, the ecologically rich "edge"
  of the Lower Mesopotamian floodplain.
