This paper is the preliminary report of an ongoing research on the Early Dynastic contexts uncovered by L. Woolley at Ur in 1920s-1930s. The aim of this study is to reconstruct the contexts of the ED levels, in order to provide an updated archaeological sequence. To reconstruct each context, the excavated materials will be associated according to their stratigraphical and functional relationships. The sequence of the Pit will be discussed on the basis of the examination of the Ur excavations original records stored at the British Museum. In addition a series of unpublished objects kept at the British Museum and the University Museum of Philadelphia will be presented.

Abstract
This paper is the preliminary report of an ongoing research on the Early Dynastic contexts uncovered by L. Woolley at Ur in 1920s-1930s. The aim of this study is to reconstruct the contexts of the ED levels, in order to provide an updated archaeological sequence. To reconstruct each context, the excavated materials will be associated according to their stratigraphical and functional relationships. The sequence of the Pit will be discussed on the basis of the examination of the Ur excavations original records stored at the British Museum. In addition a series of unpublished objects kept at the British Museum and the University Museum of Philadelphia will be presented.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
