Synopsis
Between 1931 and 1939, Arnold Noldeke directed the German excavations at Uruk-Warka in southern Iraq, which are under the direction of the German Archaeological Institute. Uruk-Warka, one of the earliest cities in Mesopotamia, was occupied without interruption between the 5th millennium BC and ca. 300 AD, and is the setting of several Sumerian legends and epics, the most famous of which is the Epic of Gilgamesh. Noldeke's letters to his family do not deal with scholarly research; instead, they recount the everyday life on an archaeological excavation and some socio-political events. Notes on the latter are especially interesting and important against the backdrop of an increasingly Nazist German state. German text.

Review
"Review - German ""Arnold Noldeke (1875-1964) is one of the unsung heroes of Mesopotamian exploration, working as an architect at the German Babylon excavations (1902-1908) and directing those at Uruk from 1931 through 1939, yet not receiving the recognition of an entry in the ""Reallexikon der Assyrologie und Vorderasiatischen Archaologie."" (...)This book is thus more about a German archaeologist than German archaeology, yet it is entertaining and well worth reading by anyone who desires to gain a deeper understanding of the pioneers of our disciplines. It is provided with eighty-three illustrations, the majority of them vintage photographs, and a bare-bones index.""By Gary BeckmanIn: Journal of the American Oriental Society. 129.2 (2009). pp. 375-376.--------------------------------------
