Description: The Early Dynastic IIIb period is approximately the century before the Akkadian Empire.  The beginning of this sub-period is hard to define, being based on stylistic changes in the material remains.  It is marked by a change in glyphs and cylinder seals from a steep angling of figures into a compact frieze.  This period has marginally more historical sources than the preceding sub-periods, mainly from the city-state of Lagash.
