New evidence at the archaeological site of Bassetki (ancient Mardaman, Duhok province, Iraq) suggests thatindicators of urbanism predate the so-called second urban revolution in the later Early Bronze Age (EBA)thereby challenging conventional models of urbanisation in Ancient Mesopotamia. I will evaluate theMardaman excavation data with a focus on early EBA architecture, material culture, stratigraphy, andmicrostratigraphy from domestic contexts, taking a multi-scalar GIS-based approach. This diachronicanalysis will indicate changes in organisation as the site grew into a major centre and allow me to reassessthe state of urbanisation in Northern Mesopotamia at that time.

巴塞茨基(伊拉克杜霍克省古马尔达曼)考古遗址的新证据表明，城市化的指标早于青铜时代晚期所谓的第二次城市革命(EBA)，从而挑战了古美索不达米亚的传统城市化模式。我将评估马尔达曼挖掘数据，重点是早期EBA建筑、物质文化、地层学和国内环境下的微地层学，采用基于地理信息系统的多尺度方法。这一历时分析将表明随着该遗址发展成为一个主要中心，组织发生了变化，并使我能够重新评估当时美索不达米亚北部的城市化状况。
