Problem:
Identify the site, situation, & functions: Ancient Mesopotamian cities usually were protected by mud walls (25 feet high 70 feet thick). • Temples dominated the urban landscape (large and build mounds over 100 feet high) • Priests and authorities resided in substantial buildings (palaces). • Ordinary citizens lived in mud-walled houses packed closely together and separated only by a narrow lane. • Lining the narrow lane, craftspeople set up workshops. • The poorest people lived in tiny huts on the outskirts of the city. • The leadership class held slaves in prison-like accommodations, sometimes on the outside of the city wall.
