N2  - This monograph is a study of Mesopotamian architecture and town planning dating from the Mesolithic to the end of the Proto-historic period (ca. 10,000-3500 BC). The author, however, frequently deviates from this time sequence in discussing much later periods, emphazing in particular the Late Chalcolithic Mesopotamian era. The document discusses the physical environment of the region studied, early settlement patterns, the evolution of Mesopotamian architecture through time, and the analysis of design principles, building elements and materials used in construction.
