Urkesh and the Hurrians A Volume in Honor of Lloyd Cotsen Giorgio Buccellati and Marilyn Kelly-Buccellati (eds) Urkesh/Mozan Studies 3 Bibliotheca Mesopotamica 26, Malibu: Undena Publications, 1998. PDF (19.6 MB) |
The series Urkesh/Mozan Studies. continues directly the earlier series which was simply entitled Mozan and which has been discontinued (hence there are no volumes 1 and 2 in the UMS series). An accompanying slide set and a CD which duplicates exactly the volume and the slides is also available. Dedicated to Lloyd Cotsen, a well-known Aegean archaeologist and a long time friend and supporter of the Expedition, the volume opens with a presentation to the honoree and a biographical sketch by Ernestine S. Elster. The first four chapters, by staff members, deal with new aspects of the excavations at Mozan/Urkesh, while the others, by distinguished colleagues from Europe and the United States, place the site in its wider historical perspective. |
