The study covers the geographical space west of the classical theatre of early Mesopotamian cultures, a region so far not in the focus of science. The investigation is restricted to the 3rd millennium BC and aims at a comprehensive presentation of gods and demons on all genres of monuments. Comparisons with monuments from other parts of Mesopotamia help to identify the individual motives as to their date and function. In addition, the gods and demons are considered in their iconographic as well as textual and historical context.
