Asingeran: A Case of Micro-Complexity in the Navkur Plain? Data from the Second Archaeological Season of the Joint Italian-Kurdish Research Campaign

The article presents the results of the second archaeological campaign from Asingeran, located in the eastern sector of the Navkur Plain in Iraqi Kurdistan (Iraq). The focus lay on the extensive Chalcolithic phases, with special attention to the settlement development from the Early Middle Chalcolithic (roughly corresponding to the Northern Ubaid Period) to the Late Chalcolithic (roughly corresponding to the Northern Ubaid Period) to the Late Chalcolithic. The results achieved are used to provide an initial description of the socio-economic processes characterising the site during the 5th and 4th mill. BCE.
