چکیده    Long-term excavations at arslantepe, malatya (turkey), have revealed the development, in the fourth millennium bc, of a precocious palatial system with a monumental building complex, sophisticated bureaucracy, and a strong centralization of economic and political power in a nonurban site. this paper reconsiders, in comparative terms, the main features and organization of the earliest states in greater mesopotamia. by looking at the social and economic foundations of the emergence of hierarchies and unequal relations, the dynamics and degrees of urbanization, and the role of ideology, i highlight the common aspects and the diversified trajectories of state formation and outcomes in three main core regions—southern mesopotamia, northern mesopotamia, and upper euphrates valley.
