New excavations at Fara offer the possibility to extensively record a city that developed during the second large urbanization period in Southern Mesopotamia in the first half of the third millennium BCE. Using modern methodologies such as remote sensing, geophysics, and archaeological sciences, we will elucidate city layout that eluded previous excavations, and explore connections within the site and the formerly marshy environment it occupied.
