This book examines the sculptures created during the Early Dynastic period (2900-2350 BC) of Sumer, a region corresponding to present-day southern Iraq. Featured almost exclusively in temple complexes, some 550 Early Dynastic stone statues of human figures carved in an abstract style have survived. Chronicling the intellectual history of ancient Near Eastern art history and archaeology at the intersection of sculpture and aesthetics, this book argues that the early modern reception of Sumer still influences ideas about these sculptures. Engaging also with the archaeology of the Early Dynastic temple, the book ultimately considers what a stone statue of a human figure has signified, both in modern times and in antiquity. places the reader in the world of late 19th-century studies in human taxonomics and race, clearly citing how quasiscientific theories about the origins of civilization and the "Sumerian Problem" influenced western perceptions of Sumer. The relationships between early archaeologists in Mesopotamia and their imposition of incorrect analyses of skeletal remains is presented as an example of how early "data" has colored our current interpretations of Mesopotamian material culture
