摘要：Ancient northern Mesopotamia reveals the presence of southern Uruk-style material cultural elements along with indigenous styles in fourth millennium B.C.E. In this study, I argue that we need to focus on the ways northern Mesopotamian societies constructed ¡®cultural difference¡¯ through an analysis of the meanings of southern-style elements within northern contexts. I further argue that an investigation of culturallyparticular ideas of ¡°own¡± and ¡°other¡± should involve a relationship between analytic and folk categories of cultural boundaries.
