Abstract
C. L. Woolley reported that Royal Tombs were earlier in date than the First Dynasty of Ur, and dated it about 3500-3200 B. C. His dating has been keenly discussed by those who adopted a long chronology as well as a short chronology. As for the absolute chronology, both systems of a long and a short chronology were thoroughly revised in 1940. I put the problem of absolute chronology aside, and discuss relative chronology. Some of scholars claim that the Royal Tombs belong to the First Dynasty of Ur, but the reasons are obscure. The chronology must come into the latter half of the Third Early Dynastic Period as H. Frankfort has suggested. According to this chronology, I recognize that the Kingship of Mesopotamia became powerful at the end of the Early Dynastic Period.
