The city-state of Umma in the Pre-Sargonic period. New tablets from the Iraq Museum


Abstract

Twenty hitherto unpublished Pre-Sargonic cuneiform tablets from the collections of the Iraq Museum in Baghdad are studied in this contribution. The tablets, which stem from illicit excavations and were confiscated by the Iraqi authorities in 2005, originate from the Umma region and can be dated to the Early Dynastic IIIb period.
