Examples

“The discovery in Uruk of a brecciated limestone vase of the Jamdat Nasr period made of a material almost certainly imported from the Mosul area, and the occurrence at Gawrah and Warka of the curious double looped idols seems to me significant evidence of a close contact between Assyria and Sumer at this period.”

“For some unknown reason, Parthian art in Palmyra, Assur, Hatra, Dura-Europos, Warka, Tang-i Sarvak and Shāmi presents a different picture.”

“[…] there is general agreement that Nissen’s (2003) estimate of the population of Warka in the Late Uruk period at 40,000 or so people probably represents a reasonable approximation.”
