The Early Mesopotamian Culture
Italian ologist marcella frangipani has written texts on the archaeology of mesopotamian societies. She notes that the helafian culture was very widespread, but originally was believed to be localized. The settlements were surprisingly quite small in size, but there didn't appear to be any kind of blue print for construction. Frangipani also cites the fact that there is very little evidence of there being a complex social hierarchy at halapian site. So it does appear that these societies are very much a galitarian which is something we discussed during our last podcast.
