The State of Lagash was one of the major political powers in the Sumerian world of the 3rd millennium BC, with archaeological attestations at least since the 5th millennium BC.

The volume presents the results of studies and excavations carried on in these sites until 2015, providing new data for their historical interpretation. The volume collects contributions to the research at al-Hiba, under the supervision of H. Pittman, a section dedicated to the first archaeological campaign undertaken at the site of Nigin under the direction of D. Nadali and A. Polcaro, and the research on the site of Girsu under the joint direction of S. Rey and F. Husain. … |

Der Staat von Lagash im heutigen Südirak war im 3. Jahrtausend v. Chr. eine der wichtigsten politischen Mächte im Sumer, und ist archäologisch seit dem 5. Jahrtausend v. Chr. belegt. Dieser Staat bestand aus den drei Hauptstädten Girsu (Tello), Lagash (Tell al-Hiba) und Nigin (Tell Zurghul). Der vorliegende Sammelband präsentiert die Ergebnisse von Studien und Aus-grabungen, die bis 2015 an diesen Standorten durchgeführt wurden, und liefert neue Daten für die historische Interpretation. Darunter finden sich Beiträge zur Forschung in al-Hiba (unter dem Vorsitz von H. Pittman), ein Abschnitt über die erste archäologische Kampagne am Standort Nigin (unter der Leitung von D. Nadali und A. Polcaro) sowie zu Forschungen an der alten Stadt von Girsu (unter der Leitung von S. Rey und F. Husain).
