Abstract

Generations of Mesopotamian archaeologists, looking at Iran as if through the wrong end of a telescope, have tended to contrast the developed and urbanized centres of their early riverine civilizations with what they assumed were the sparsely populated and undeveloped resource areas of highland Iran. (Beale 1973: 133)
