Archaic Dairy Metrology

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  07 August 2014

Extract

The archaic tablet made available in the present note is now in a private collection in Belgium.

The well preserved proto-cuneiform tablet, measuring 73 × 69 × 18 mm (height × width × thickness), was copied from photographs in the early spring of 1989, and subsequently collated with the original in May of the same year in London. Although the exact provenience of the tablet, which came to Europe some decades ago via the antiquities market, is not secure, format, contents and personal designations point to its probable origin at Uruk/Warka.
