This project will highlight the lived experience of religion of the diverse, multi-cultural and multi-ethnic communities of historic Mesopotamia (modern-day Iraq, NE Syria and neighbouring regions) throughout three millennia (3000-539BC). By foregrounding how all people negotiated their religious identities in the Longue durée, "Mesopotamian material religion" will generate a new understanding of the entanglement of religion with the material world.
