Work continued on the “Newcomers and Autochthons” project conducted within the framework of the UGZAR field project in the upper Greater Zab region in 2014–2015 (continued from 2012 and 2013). A preliminary recapitulation of the Late Chalcolithic 3–5 settlement pattern was possible, focusing on the so-called “Uruk expansion”, manifested in the presence of artifacts belonging to the southern Mesopotamian Uruk culture on some of the surveyed sites.
