Abstract

The article focuses on a re-analysis on the iconography of the Warka Vase. Some symbols in the upper register on the vessel may be identified as semi-pictographic signs. These characters can be linked to and identified as toponyms on the Archaic City Sealings from Jamdat Nasr/Tell Uqair. Thus, it is proposed that the Warka Vase depicts the actual exchange of goods within a kind of archaic Ur-III like bala-system.
