This volume publishes the papers given at a seminar in memory of Vladmir G. Lukonin held at the British Museum in 1993. Four papers were delivered by academics on the subject of relations between Mesopotamia and Iran between 1600 BC and the start of the Persian period in 539 BC. John Curtis has written an introduction to this important and formative period in the history of the ancient Near East. This period saw the domination of Babylonia and parts of Western Iran by the Kassites, the continuing arrival in Iran of Indo-European tribes that included the Medes and the Persians, and the establishment of the Late Assyrian and Neo-Babylonian empires. This is a companion volume and sequel to "Early Mesopotamia and Iran: Contact and Conflict c. 3500-1600 BC", the proceedings of a seminar held in 1991.
