Abstract

The present paper presents the most recent archaeological surveys in the region of Lagash, in southern Iraq. In particular, it points out the diachronic development of the occupation in the area, specifically in relation with the neighboring landscape and the ecosystem. The waterscape of the entire region, deeply characterized and affected by the marshes, contributed to the economy of the dynasties of rulers and people living there, in a very strong balanced relationship between built space and environment.

Keywords: Sealand, Lagash, Mesopotamia, marshes, water environment
