Urbanism and Mobility in the Euphrates and Upper Khabur Valleys: : from Expansion to the Contraction of the Uruk Culture (ca. 3600-2600 BC)

During the later phases of the Late Chalcolithic, multiple urban settlements emerged in the Euphrates and Upper Khabur valleys.

The strong presence of Uruk culture led to the belief that these centers were the result of the influence of Lower Mesopotamia, whose inhabitants had moved north and/or imposed their culture. In recent years, however, the weight of some over others has been nuanced, proposing that local populations would have voluntarily participated in such relationships, as well as highlighting previous signs of local urbanization. Now then, once the Late Chalcolithic was over, not only the retreat of the Uruk culture but also of the urban phenomenon was verified, indicating that there would have been a close relationship between the two phenomena. In this article, resuming on a study dedicated to the sites of Hacinebi Tepe, Habuba Kabira South/Tel Qannas, and Tell Brak, we propose to analyze these changes in settlement patterns and forms of social organization during and after the Uruk expansion, in order to try to understand how urbanism and mobility were articulated in these dynamics. Durante las últimas fases del Calcolítico Tardío surgieron múltiples asentamientos urbanos en los valles del Éufrates y del Alto Khabur. La fuerte presencia de cultura Uruk llevó a pensar que dichos centros eran resultado de la influencia de la Baja Mesopotamia, cuyos habitantes se habían trasladado al norte y/o impuesto su cultura. En los últimos años, sin embargo, se ha matizado el peso de unos sobre otros, proponiendo que las poblaciones locales habrían participado de manera voluntaria en dichas relaciones, así como también resaltando los indicios previos de urbanización local. Ahora bien, una vez finalizado el Calcolítico Tardío no sólo se verifica el repliegue de la cultura Uruk sino también del fenómeno urbano, indicando entonces que habría existido una estrecha relación entre ambos fenómenos. En este artículo, retomando un estudio dedicado a los sitios de Hacinebi Tepe, de Habuba Kabira Sur/Tel Qannas, y de Tell Brak, nos proponemos analizar estos cambios en los patrones de asentamiento y las formas de organización social durante y después de la expansión Uruk, para intentar comprender de qué manera urbanismo y movilidad se articularon en dichas dinámicas.
