Description
This volume completes the publication of all identified Old Babylonian tablets in the Ashmolean Museum accessed before 1966.
Although many of them were acquired from dealers in the 1920s and 1930s, most can be assigned to sites and connected with similar holdings in other museums.
The combination of full catalogue, indices, and copies provides an invaluable tool for further research on three of the most important cities of the 18th century BC.
Links with Mycenaean administrative practices, and information about the hitherto dubious Sealand dynasty, are two interesting aspects highlighted in the introduction.
