The one merit of this Copper civilisation is the general unanimity amongst scholars about its antiquity, a date paralleled with the Sargonic period of Akkad (c. 2350 B. C.), and the two ends of its temporal extension bracketed within c. 2500-1500 B. C. This dating has rather a firm basis, as shown by the discovery of about 30 Indus seals in the important cities of Mesopotamia at Ur, Kish, Lagash, Susa, Tell Asmar, etc. in the latter half of the third millenium B. C. Some seals were found in the Larsa period (1800 B. C.) and some from Kassite period (c. 1500 B. C.).
