"The contributions gathered in this book are based on the papers presented to a workshop organized by the editors at the 11th International Congress on the Archaeology of the Ancient Near East, held in Munich, Germany in April 2018. As Editors we are aware of the vastness of the topic about 'transitions' and 'Dark Ages', as well as of the multi-faceted character of these definitions in the history of research, we choose therefore a diachronic view of the topics dealing mostly with the northern part of Mesopotamia; our idea was to explore the evolution, through 'Dark Age' periods, of societal systems from rural to urban and vice versa, attempting at providing a thorough picture through the seven contributions collected in this volume, following the number of speakers allowed by the regulation of the ICAANE conference."--Introduction.
