Johnston (ed.), The Concept of the Book: the Production, Progression and Dissemination of Information, London: Institute of English Studies/School of Advanced Study Information Flows in Rural Babylonia c. 1500 BC Eleanor Robson Cuneiform clay tablets are uniquely durable ancient writing media.1 Unlike organic materials such as papyrus, leather or wood, they remain as they were written unless deliberately destroyed or recycled. Since the 1840s they have been discovered in their hundreds of thousands at archaeological sites across the Middle East, first by Victorian explorers looking for ancient treasure and, more recently, through systematic, recorded excavation.2 The Middle Eastern conflicts of the past three decades have severely constrained archaeological fieldwork, especially in Iraq, so that ancient historians of the region now mostly work with museum collections rather than artefacts straight from the ground. However, in 2013 the Ur Regional Archaeology Project, a collaboration between the University of Manchester, the British Institute for the Study of Iraq and the Iraq State Board of Antiquities and Heritage, began excavation of a small site called Tell Khaiber in the Dhi Qar province of southern Iraq.3 The project directors chose it in part because the area is safe and secure and the local archaeological service welcoming and in part because it was already clear from aerial imagery that there was a large building close to the surface on the top of the mound. Within the first two weeks of work the excavation team discovered cuneiform tablets in this building. In three subsequent excavation seasons, each lasting 8–12 weeks early in each year, over 150 further tablets were 1 For more on the materiality of cuneiform tablets and the cultures of literacy surrounding them, see Radner and Robson (2011); Finkel and Taylor (2015); Robson (forthcoming).

Speakers are drawn from across the UK, Europe and Middle East. 1. Water management system in Third Millennium Southern Mesopotamian Towns Eloisa Casadei (Sapienza University of Rome) Understanding the relationship between water and ancient society still stimulates a vivid discussion both in historical and anthropological debate. Problems such as the control of riverine water through irrigation systems and the management of water in the urban compound have been seen by researchers as key to the rise of complexity during the 4th-3rd millennium BC. However, the archaeological data relating to the organization of water in the settlements are not always sufficient to explain the whole management system. In particular, 4th and 3rd millennium BC temples and palaces show a complex organization of shafts, basins and drains for which a functional reconstruction is still a matter of debate. While the so-called palaces included a sort of household organization similar to the private compound, water-related features inside the temples could play a more symbolic role.

  • Tell Khaiber: an Administrative Centre of the Sealand Period1
    IRAQ (2017) 79 21–46 Doi:10.1017/irq.2017.1 21 TELL KHAIBER: AN ADMINISTRATIVE CENTRE OF THE SEALAND PERIOD1 By STUART CAMPBELL,JANE MOON,ROBERT KILLICK,DANIEL CALDERBANK, ELEANOR ROBSON,MARY SHEPPERSON AND FAY SLATER Excavations at Tell Khaiber in southern Iraq by the Ur Region Archaeological Project have revealed a substantial building (hereafter the Public Building) dating to the mid-second millennium B.C. The results are significant for the light they shed on Babylonian provincial administration, particularly of food production, for revealing a previously unknown type of fortified monumental building, and for producing a dated archive, in context, of the little-understood Sealand Dynasty. The project also represents a return of British field archaeology to long-neglected Babylonia, in collaboration with Iraq’s State Board for Antiquities and Heritage. Comments on the historical background and physical location of Tell Khaiber are followed by discussion of the form and function of the Public Building. Preliminary analysis of the associated archive provides insights into the social milieu of the time. Aspects of the material culture, including pottery, are also discussed. Historical background The loss of control of southern Babylonia by the First Dynasty of Babylon and the history of the Sealand kings form particularly obscure episodes of Mesopotamian history. The complex and debated chronology2 as well as the political circumstances are impossible to disentangle fully with current information.3 Periodic collapse of central states is a recurrent theme both in Mesopotamia and in many other early complex societies,4 but the specific narratives are much harder to understand.
