Inscriptions From Tell Brak 1985

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  07 August 2014

Extract

Three cuneiform inscriptions, two on clay and one on stone, were discovered during the 1985 season of excavations at Tell Brak, and each is published in the present note.

No. 9 (TB 7037); see Fig. 1

No. 1 is a fragment of an unbaked Old Akkadian administrative document, a thin flake from near the right edge of what is probably the reverse. It measures 2·7 × 2·4 × 0·4 cm (at maximum), and is evidently a ration list or something similar. Each entry is separated from the following one by two deep rulings, the upper sweeping up to the right. Numerals are clear in lines 1′ and 3′, while line 2′ is probably the end of a personal name. The traces after the numeral in line 1′ are apparently an erasure.
