Architecture and Linear Measurement during the Ubaid Period in Mesopotamia

by Sam Kubba

A comprehensive survey of Ubaid architecture, with special focus on the later material. It includes a detailed catalogue of Ubaid sites and analysis of building materials, architectural and structural elements and construction methods. There is also an analysis of their plans, which suggests the use of standard geometric principles, and an attempt to establish a classification of buildings on the basis of their plans.
