ABOUT GUILLERMO'S WORK
Guillermo Algaze is an anthropologist and archaeologist of the Near East whose research explores the formation of early cities and their first interactions. Mesopotamia of the fourth and third millennium B.C. saw the development of distinct Northern and Southern city-states that interacted through cultural and economic exchanges, and even colonization. Algaze’s ambitious reconstruction of this region’s political economy sparked a host of archeological studies evaluating new evidence in the context of his comprehensive model. Most recently, Algaze completed an excavation of the third millennium B.C. city of Titris in northern Mesopotamia. His research team has extended the application of magnetometry beyond its common use for locating landmarks within the city to develop a complete map of its boundaries and residential areas. Together with traditional excavations, with sites selected strategically from the magnetometry maps, Algaze has uncovered clear evidence of urban planning in ancient Mesopotamia. Algaze’s fieldwork and interpretations illuminate the social, cultural, and economic transformations taking place contemporaneously with the emergence of the earliest cities of the Near East.

BIOGRAPHY
Guillermo Algaze received a B.A. (1976) in history from the University of Puerto Rico, and an M.A. (1979) and a Ph.D. (1986) in Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations from the University of Chicago. He was a Mellon postdoctoral fellow (1990–1991) at the University of Pennsylvania. Algaze joined the Department of Anthropology at the University of California San Diego as an assistant professor in 1990 and currently chairs the department. Since 1991, he has been project director of the Titris Hoyuk excavation in southeastern Turkey.

关于吉列尔莫的工作
吉列尔莫-阿尔加兹是一位人类学家和近东考古学家，他的研究探讨了早期城市的形成及其最初的相互作用。公元前四千年和三千年的美索不达米亚见证了独特的北方和南方城邦的发展，这些城邦通过文化和经济交流，甚至殖民化进行互动。阿尔加兹对这一地区政治经济的雄心勃勃的重建引发了大量的考古研究，在他的综合模型背景下评估新的证据。最近，Algaze完成了对美索不达米亚北部公元前三千年城市Titris的发掘工作。他的研究团队将磁力测量法的应用范围扩大到了城市内常用的地标定位之外，开发了一张完整的城市边界和居住区地图。结合传统的发掘工作，从磁力测量图中战略性地选择地点，阿尔加兹发现了古代美索不达米亚城市规划的明确证据。阿尔加兹的实地考察和解释阐明了与近东最早城市的出现同时发生的社会、文化和经济变革。
