DESCRIPTION:How did political shifts in southern Babylonia during the thir
 d millennium BCE impact land and social status? For most of this period\, 
 independent city-states coexisted\, sometimes clashing with each other or 
 with Kish in the north. Eventually\, the region unified under the Sargonic
  dynasty and then the Third Dynasty of Ur. Despite these changes\, the lan
 d-tenure system stayed stable due to environmental needs\, particularly la
 rge-scale irrigation. Most arable land was controlled by rulers\, governor
 s\, and temples\, with individual land rights depending on one’s freedom
  and social status. Society had three main groups: free citizens\, who own
 ed land and were conscripted part-time\; serflike individuals\, who were f
 ree but conscripted full-time and rarely had land\; and enslaved people\, 
 who were unfree and did not possess land. This presentation will explore t
 he continuity and shifts in land ownership and liberty across the Early Dy
 nastic\, Sargonic\, and Ur III periods.
