The Cuneiform Tablet Collection of the Los Angeles Unified School District
Thirteen tablets from LAUSD's collection of antiquities are presented dating to the Ur III period (2112-2004 BC). Six come from the sites of Drehem (ancient Puzriš-Dagān) and Umma respectively, while one tablet likely comes from Girsu. As with most collections of this type, these tablets represent a medley of known Ur III archives. And, as is typical of such administrative miscellany, this potpourri of tablets offers certain insights into the terminology (šu-gid2 , ab2-rig5 ) and practices (bala, abbreviating year names, sealing) of the Ur III state apparatus.
