Notes to Chapter III
c10.s1.1
Professor V. G. Childe’s *New Light on the Most Ancient East* (1934), still remains the best general account of the prehistoric Orient, but can now be supplemented by A. L. Perkins, *Comparative Archaeology of Early Mesopotamia* (Oriental Institute of Chicago, 1949), and D. McCown, *The Comparative Stratigraphy of Early Iran* (ibid., 1942), with a full bibliography of excavations and sites discovered since 1934 except for Tell Hassuna, published by Seton Lloyd and Fuad Safar in *Journ. Near Eastern Studies*, IV (1945) 255. In this connexion the Sialk report is of outstanding importance - R. Ghirshman, *Fouilles de Sialk* (two vols., 1938-1939).
c10.s1.2
The Natufian Mesolithic Culture is described by Professor D. Garrod in *The Stone Age of Mount Carmel*, Vol. I (1937). For the technology of early copper and bronze working, see papers by H. H. Coghlan in *Man*, 1939, 92; *Antiquaries Journal*, XXII (1942), 22-38; H. Maryon in *Amer. Journ. Arch.* LIII (1949), 93-124. I have discussed some of the problems of the Hissar dating in *Antiquity*, XVII (1943), 169-182; see also T. Burton-Brown, *Studies in Third Millennium History* (1946), Chap. VI, and D. H. Gordon, ‘Sialk, Giyan, Hissar and the Indo-Iranian Connection’, *Man in India*, XXVII (1947), 196-241. The finds from Namazga Tepe are published in *Eurasia Septentrionalis Antiqua*, V (1930), 9-21, and Nad-i-Ali in *Revue des Arts Asiatiques*, XIII (1939), 10-22.
