Mesopotamian archaeology

Mesopotamian archaeology is the study of ancient civilizations that arose in the region between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, primarily modern-day Iraq. It encompasses research on significant cultures like the Sumerians, Akkadians, Babylonians, and Assyrians, who made advances in writing, law, and urban planning. Archaeologists excavate sites, uncover artifacts, and analyze inscriptions to understand these societies' daily lives, beliefs, and contributions to human history. By studying remaining structures, tools, and artworks, they piece together the development of one of the world's earliest and most influential civilizations.
