This block seminar, in the first two weeks of the semester, will take a deep dive into the administrative history of agricultural fields, the production of staple crops and the role of these staples in food products produced for major feasts. Although the block seminar will focus on proto-cuneiform texts from several different cities in southern Mesopotamia, it will also look at related bookkeeping practices from other cuneiform sources in the third millennnium BCE. Basic knowledge of cuneiform is required for participation, although specific familiarity with proto-cuneiform is not required. Schließen
