Prehistoric India to 1000 B.C. c10.41

c10.41

Susa is a famous site excavated many years ago, when its stratigraphy was not properly understood. McCown has shown that the old ‘Susa I’, which he re-names ‘Susa A’, is contemporary with Ubaid, Hissar I, Sialk III and Giyan Vc; above this Susa B has actual imported Uruk pottery and so is definitely dated to this phase, Susa C is equated with Jemdet Nasr, and Susa D (which used to be called ‘Susa II’) can be shown to be contemporary with Early Dynastic Sumer.
