A season's work at Ur, al-'Ubaid, Abu Shahrain (Eridu) and elsewhere: being an unofficial account of the British Museum archaeological mission to Babylonia, 1919

This classic work from 1930 describes the archaeological mission to Iraq which was a huge leap in the understanding of Mesopotamian history. It chronicles the journey, the excavations and the findings in a personalised account, heavily illustrated with maps, photographs of the locations and the findings, offering great insight into a special investigation of its time.
