7/35A.

Not available

A fragment  from a very large  Ur III administrative tablet with cuneiform  writing on both sides

21st/20th century BC

 

 

150mm  x 65mm

 

 

It is a list of names, some with patronymics,  for example:

 

A-a-kal-la

Lugal-nig2-lagar-e

Ab-ba-mu

Ur-Shul-pa-e3

Lu2-Shara son of Lugal-iti-da

 

 …with a number  (often 1 1/3,  sometimes 2 ˝, sometimes  5) . 

 

The actual item to which the number refers is in the missing part of the tablet,  but it would necessarily be a counted (not measured) item such as man-days of labor, persons,  animals or wool.
