Following a 50-year absence and in a context of post-war reconstruction, the return of archaeologists to the major sites of Iraq is ushering in a new era in the archaeology of Mesopotamia. The technical resources and new approaches available to this generation of researchers enable them to shed new light on the appearance and development of the first cities, while working to preserve Iraq’s heritage.
