| Sumario: | Summary: Mass Production in Mesopotamia
This short paper responds to some interesting remarks made by Assyriologist Marc
Van De Mieroop. It considers the meaning of mass production and its relevance in
an ancient Mesopotamian context. The paper discusses mold technology and craft
goods. It also analyzes evidence for Ur III and Isin workshops. Finally, the paper
deals with the question of whether craft goods were produced only on order for an
advance payment. The conclusion is that Mesopotamia knew mass production as
well as production of craft goods in advance of order. |
