Book Synopsis
Le troisieme volume des rapports sur les nouvelles fouilles de Chagar Bazar, engagees depuis 1999, contient la publication complete des 214 tablettes cuneiformes et des centaines de scellements portant des empreintes de sceaux-cylindres, datant de la periode paleo-babylonienne, mis au jour dans le chantier I entre 2000 et 2002. On y trouvera aussi une premiere description des contextes de trouvailles. Les informations obtenues par l'etude de ces documents, dont la plupart appartenait aux archives palatiales du regne du roi Samsi-Addu, eclairent d'un jour nouveau le lot de tablettes paleo-babyloniennes decouvertes par M. Mallowan en 1936 et 1937. This third excavation report on the new excavations at Chagar Bazar, which were resumed in 1999, contains the complete publication of the 214 Old Babylonian cuneiform tablets and hundreds of sealings bearing cylinder-seal impressions discovered in Area I between 2000 and 2002. The contexts of the discoveries are also briefly described. Most of the tablets belong to the palatial archives from the reign of the king Samsi-Addu and the information gathered through the study of the texts sheds new light on the understanding of the Old Babylonian tablets discovered by M. Mallowan in 1936 and 1937.
