Early Babylonian tablets in the British Museum’s Kuyunjik Collection 1: A fragment of an administrative document from Ur III Girsu?

Abstract

: The present paper deals with cuneiform tablets in the British Museum’s Kuyunjik Collection that were in all likelihood found in Babylonia, not in Nineveh. Following a brief and pre-liminary overview of the corresponding material, a fragment from this group is published for the first time. It is suggested that it may belong to an administrative record from Ur III Girsu.
