Articles relating to the Ubaid period (c. 6500–3800 BC), [1] a prehistoric period of Mesopotamia. The name derives from Tell al-'Ubaid where the earliest large excavation of Ubaid period material was conducted initially by Henry Hall and later by Leonard Woolley. [2] In South Mesopotamia the period is the earliest known period on the alluvial plain, although it is likely earlier periods exist obscured under the alluvium. [3] In the south it has a very long duration between about 6500 and 3800 BC when it is replaced by the Uruk period. [4] In North Mesopotamia the period runs only between about 5300 and 4300 BC. [4] It is preceded by the Halaf period and the Halaf-Ubaid Transitional period and succeeded by the Late Chalcolithic period.
