80pp stapled booklet, with maps and black and white illustrations, in printed paper wraps. 8vo. Covers a little worn and rubbed at edges, text block edges softening, with the occasional minor corner curl, otherwise internally neat, clean and tight.
An account of the first 25 years of the work of the British School of Archaeology in Iraq and its archaeological digs in Iraq; as well as a description of key finds, and analysis of their significance for the history of the region between the Rivers Euphrates and Tigris, the volume is also illuminating on the process, and adventure of archaeological investigations.
