description Summary: Mass Production in Mesopotamia This short paper responds to some interesting remarks made by Assyriologist Marc Van De Mieroop. It considers the meaning of mass production and its relevance in an ancient Mesopotamian context. The paper discusses mold technology and craft goods. It also analyzes evidence for Ur III and Isin workshops. Finally, the paper deals with the question of whether craft goods were produced only on order for an advance payment. The conclusion is that Mesopotamia knew mass production as well as production of craft goods in advance of order.
