The extent of the Uruk influence on its hinterland during the periods between Late Uruk and Early Dynastic I (late 4th - early 3rd millennia BCE) is marked by a belt void of settlements. The size of the area between the city and the belt is confronted with the size of the population during these periods, and it is suggested that it sufficed to feed both the city and the settlements within this area.
