Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Part of the British Society Monograph series, this is a book that basically contains lots of information about Babylonian seals and tablets. I can find no description for the book elsewhere and seeing as I haven't read it, I'm just going from what I see as I skim through. Lots of illustrations of ancient tablets and descriptions and translations of what is on them. The tablets themselves have all sorts of information on them, from food consignments to garments, to workmen's wages and the sale of a female slave.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Notwithstanding that a large number of the temple-records found at Tel-Loh has been published, and that they are mainly texts of but little importance, certain minor historical details, Sumerian linguistic data, and information bearing upon Babylonian manners, customs, and religious beliefs, require that as many of these seemingly worthless documents as is possible should be reproduced. On this account, I need not ask the indulgence of the student for the present issue of a further installment of these inscriptions from the old site of Lagas and elsewhere. Their contents, and the interesting cylinder-seals with which some of them are impressed, will be their justification for claiming his attention, as they have claimed mine and, in the first place, that of the owner. As these records have all been acquired from dealers, it is only by internal evidence that their provenance is known; but there is no doubt that Nos. 1-93 were inscribed at Lagas. The later Semitic documents (Nos. 94-9) possibly came from Sippar; Nos. 100-2 are of more doubtful origin, whilst the latest of all, Nos. 103-11, were apparently all excavated at Borsippa, the city whose great temple-tower has long passed as the traditional Tower of Babel, and which was known to the Babylonians as " the second Babylon ", though this name seems never to have been given to it officially. Something has still to be learned about the oblong bead-like clay records bearing the name of king Uru-ka-gina (Nos. 1-6), and also the small but carefully-written dateless inscriptions which follow (7-13). With regard to the tablets of the dynasty of Ur (reigns of Dungi to Ibe-Sin), it is to be noted that three (Nos. 19-21) have colophon -dates which are by no means common, and that the remainder of the dated texts are fairly representative. The rarity of the dates of the earlier portion of Dungi's reign implies that at that time the temples of Lagas had not attained the influence and renown which fell to their lot afterward and lasted until the reign of his great-grandson, Ibe-Sin. It would be well, if more tablets with this king's earlier colophon -dates could be published, and the same may be said with regard to those belonging to the time of his father, Sur-Engur, which are so rare as to be practically non-existent. Nothing can be done, however, until the war now raging in both East and West comes to an end, and excavations are resumed in the Tigris and Euphrates valley.

Download or read book Establishing Value written by Vitali Bartash and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2019-06-04 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the reasons for which weights and scales were used to measure goods in Early Mesopotamia (ca. 3,200-2,000 BCE). The vast corpus of cuneiform records from this period sheds light on the various mechanisms behind the development of this cultural innovation. Weighing became the means of articulating the value of both imported and locally-produced goods within a socioeconomic system that had reached an unprecedented level of complexity. This study provides a comprehensive analysis of this cultural and economic phenomenon, which simultaneously reflected and shaped the relationships between individuals and groups in Mesopotamia throughout the third millennium BCE.

Download or read book The First Dynasty of the Sealand in Mesopotamia written by Odette Boivin and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2018-03-19 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Sealand kingdom arose from the rebellion against Babylonian hegemony in the latter half of the 18th century BCE., forcing it to share power over Sumer and Akkad. Although its kings maintained themselves throughout the turmoil leading to the demise of the Amorite dynasty at Babylon, it remains one of the most poorly documented Mesopotamian polities. Until recently, it was known to us mainly through its inclusion into later king lists and chronicles, but the recent publication of well over 400 archival texts from a Sealand palace, soon followed by literary and divinatory tablets, finally makes it possible to study this polity from primary sources. This book proposes a history of the Sealand kingdom based on the new evidence and a reevaluation of previously known sources. The aspects examined are: the economy — mainly the palatial administration and transformation of agricultural and animal resources; the panthea and the palace-sponsored cult, which show that Sealand I kings may have positioned their rule in a Larsean tradition; the political history, including a discussion of the geography and the relative chronology; the recording and transmission of knowledge on the Sealand I dynasty in Mesopotamian historiography.
