Özet

Mezopotamya coğrafyası bereketli toprakları sayesinde birçok medeniyete ev sahipliği yapmıştır. Bu medeniyetler ise var oldukları dönem boyunca birçok eser inşa ederek kendilerinden bir iz bırakmayı başarmıştır. 20. Yüzyılda Mezopotamya coğrafyası Osmanlı imparatorluğu sınırlarındaydı ve bu coğrafya birçok antik eserleri de bünyesinde barındırmaktaydı. Avrupalı devletlerin arkeoloji alanında gelişmesi ile birlikte bu gelişimi de bölgede yaptığı ajanlık faaliyetlerinde kullanmayı başarmıştır. Casus arkeologlardan birisi olan İngiliz Gertrude Bell, Mezopotamya coğrafyasında hem arkeolojik faaliyetler yaparak hem de Britanya adına istihbarat bilgileri toplamıştır. Bu çalışma, Britanya Krallığı adına casusluk yapan arkeolog Gertrude Bell’in Mezopotamya coğrafyasında yapmış olduğu seyahatlerdeki arkeolojik faaliyetleri açıklayarak, gezi ve kazılarında eskiçağ tarihi açısından önemli olan bulguları aktarmayı amaçlamaktadır.
