There and back again: local institutions, an Uruk expansion and the rejection of centralisation in the Sirwan/Upper Diyala region
During the fourth millennium BC, public institutionsdeveloped at several large settlements across greaterMesopotamia. These are widely acknowledged as thefirst cities and states, yet surprisingly little is knownabout their emergence, functioning and demise.Here, the authors present new evidence of public institutionsat the site of Shakhi Kora in the lower Sirwan/upperDiyala river valley of north-east Iraq. A sequenceof four Late Chalcolithic institutional households precedespopulation dispersal and the apparent regionalrejection of centralised social forms of organisationthat were not then revisited for almost 1500 years.During the fourth millennium BC, public institutions developed at several large settlements across greater Mesopotamia.

PREMIS Digital Preservation Metadata Birds of a Feather
This BOF conversation will benefit individuals and institutions interested in implementing PREMIS metadata for the long-term management and preservation of their digital information, for both experienced implementers and those who have limited experience in implementation. Participants can be cultural heritage professionals, researchers, technology developers, professional educators, and anyone else involved in management and preservation of digital resources. For a fruitful discussion it is best to have a mixture of familiarity so new users can learn from existing users and vice versa, through a conversation facilitated by PREMIS EC members
