You are correct. I read that in ancient Mesopotamia, just two seasons were recognized. Link and quote from article below:

“In Mesopotamia the solar year was divided into two seasons, the “summer,” which included the barley harvest in the second half of May or in the beginning of June, and the “winter,” which roughly corresponded to today’s fall–winter. “
