EDIIIB
2450-2340
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.
