Project description:
The project “Mesopotamian material religion: Shifting landscapes of human-divine networks in ancient Mesopotamia” focuses on highlighting the lived experience of religion of the multi-cultural and multi-ethnic communities of historic Mesopotamia (modern-day Iraq, NE Syria & neighbouring regions) throughout three millennia (3000-539BC). It aims to highlight the effect of the tempo-spatial diversity of religious practice; explore how different individuals communicated with the divine through material culture and sacred space; investigate how dedications relate to broader socio-political events, and consequently generate a comprehensive history of religious dedicatory practice in the long historical Mesopotamian trajectory.
