About this product
An archaeological and philological analysis of the inscriptional material and letters found at Tell Asmar. These finds appear out of a `dark age' of Mesopotamian history and reveal a linguistic continuity from the earliest stage of Old Babylonian to Old Akkadian. Tell Asmar (formerly Eshnunna) in modern-day Iraq, was an ancient Sumerian, later Akkadian, city-state in central Mesopotamia.
