A mysterious affair of styles: The Ninevite 5 Pottery of Northern Mesopotamia
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 07 August 2014
Abstract
The elusive Ninevite 5 culture of northern Mesopotamia has repeatedly defied attempts by archaeologists to fathom its mysteries. In this article the relationship between the painted and incised styles of Ninevite 5 pottery is investigated with the help of Hercule Poirot who was present when Ninevite 5 was given its name. The evidence from earlier excavations and from recent rescue work in northern Iraq is examined and a new verdict on the development of the Ninevite 5 pottery styles is reached.
