Cuneiform Tablets of the University of Missisipi Museum

Abstract

The damgar accounts of the Third Dynasty of Ur have been the subject of much debate, resulting in very different reconstructions of social and economic realities. One important aspect of these discussions involves the basic meaning of native terminology with such divergence of opinion that it is even debated whether these accounts show that the merchants, also translated trade-agents, typically operated with a deficit or a surplus. In this article, I edit one such account dealing with Pada, among the best-known merchants from the period, together with the rest of the cuneiform collection housed at the University of Mississippi Museum.
