Three sanctuaries surrounded by an oval perimeter wall and dating from the Early dynastic Period are known from Southern Mesopotamia. 1 one (at Khafajah) is located in the diyala valley, the remaining two have been discovered at the southern sites of Al-Ubaid and Al-hiba. due to their general similarity, these structures are often seen and discussed as a single type or interpreted as the upshot of a common Mesopotamian tradition of religious architecture. In both case, emphasis is laid on the similarities they all share. 2 The present article’s aim is to present an analysis and comparison of these temples’ plans in order to establish what traits, ifany, they had in common apart from the oval shape of their temenos.
