Sumario:Abstract: This paper aims to demonstrate that, according to the iconographic evidence, standards had their origins in the late Uruk/Jemdet Nasr Period as architectural standards. A variety of different standards are depicted in relation to architecture. Some of these standards were also represented as signs in the archaic Uruk script, and this can offer further insight into their meaning or relevance. Each of the late Uruk/Jemdet Nasr standards is discussed in turn.
