Halaf-Ubaid Transitional period
open-in-new
<p>The Halaf-Ubaid Transitional period or HUT (c. 5500/5400 to 5200/5000 BC) is a <a href="/facts/Prehistory/52D6oKM4">prehistoric</a> period of <a href="/facts/Mesopotamia/f0mmbhTK">Mesopotamia</a>. It lies chronologically between the <a href="/facts/Halaf_period/CU2yotcS">Halaf period</a> and the <a href="/facts/Ubaid_period/l3bTHRht">Ubaid period</a>. It is still a complex and rather poorly understood period. At the same time, recent efforts were made to study the gradual change from Halaf style pottery to Ubaid style pottery in various parts of North Mesopotamia. </p>
