No lejos de los límites de la cultura del norte de Uruk en el Medio-Alto Éufrates: Los niveles del Calcolítico Final de Surtepe (Birecik, Sureste de Turquía)
Palabras clave:

La Expansión Uruk que tuvo lugar durante varias fases a lo largo del IV milenio a.C., se desarrolló también en el Norte de Mesopotamia. En la zona de Birecik, en el este de Turquía, al borde del Éufrates, se han descubierto diversos lugares arqueológicos, que presentan las diferentes fases de expansión de la cultura Uruk. Centramos este estudio en el yacimiento de Surtepe, un asentamiento de 8 ha, donde hemos distinguido un posible edificio ritual del Calcolítico Tardío 5, en una fase que consideramos Terminal Uruk dentro de la cronología de esta cultura mesopotámica.
