Call for Trustee Nominations

CALL FOR TRUSTEE NOMINATIONS 2022

The Trustee Nominations Committee announces an open call for (self) nominations for the 17勛圖Board of Trustees (Class of 2025). There are three primary responsibilities of the members of the Board of Trustees:

  • Governance:泭Being aware of issues brought forward to the Board, attending two meetings per year (at your own expense), and bringing issues of concern to the Board.
  • Fundraising and financial management: Leading in development by thinking of new opportunities, leading in giving, and providing oversight on the audited financial statements. We ask that individual trustees aspire to contribute $500 or more annually.
  • Strategic planning and policy development: Leading especially in measures that accord with泭ASOR���s mission.

We anticipate泭喧滄棗泭openings for Membership-Elected Trustees. Any full 17勛圖member may be considered for nomination as an Membership-Elected Trustee. If there is someone that you would like the committee to consider���including yourself���please send the person���s name and email address to泭Marta Ostovich泭in the 17勛圖office. Please check with the nominee as to whether they are interested in serving on the 17勛圖Board of Trustees before sending in their name. If you have any questions about the responsibilities and satisfactions of being a board member, please email泭Jane DeRose Evans泭(Chair of the Nominations Committee).

The 17勛圖office, or a representative from the Nominations Committee, will contact all nominees to describe the responsibilities in greater detail, and to make sure that the nominee is willing to have his or her name discussed by the Trustee Nominations Committee. Please note that nominees will need to submit a brief biography and a mission (or vision) statement for what they would like to accomplish as a trustee to be considered by the Nominations Committee. A sample of these statements can be found in last year���s ���Meet Your Board Nominees��� webpage. Brief biographies and mission statements should be ca. 200 words each and submitted via e-mail to泭Marta Ostovich泭by noon EDT on September 19, 2022.

After the Committee selects individuals for nomination, the election will take place by electronic ballot during October. 17勛圖is once again conducting online voting to ensure that more of our members are able to participate in this important process. The 17勛圖office will work with any person who is not able to complete an electronic ballot to ensure that everyone is included.

In order to receive full consideration by the committee, nominations (including supporting documents) should be submitted to泭programs@asor.org泭by noon EDT on September 19, 2022.

FOA Webinar: Kevin McGeough on October 27

FRIENDS OF 17勛圖WEBINARS

Representations of the Bible and the Ancient Near East in Film: From Griffith to Grindhouse


Registrants receive a 25% discount code to buy this book! A free copy will also be given away during the live webinar.

Friends of ASOR泭present the next webinar in our monthly series on泭October 27, 2022, at 6:00 pm EDT, featuring Prof.泭Kevin McGeough and moderated by泭ANE Today泭Editor, Dr. Alex Joffe. The Bible and the Ancient Near East have been a subject of movies from the earliest days of film to the present. Stories of Cleopatra, Samson, Moses, and Jesus were compelling for audiences and the challenges of recreating the ancient world in a realistic fashion left viewers awestruck. Films about the ancient world have often been on the cutting edge of cinematic technology because of this, from D.W. Griffith���s recreation of ancient Babylon, to the ���cinemascope��� of泭The Robe, to the CGI of Ridley Scott���s泭Gladiator. However, films like these have also often been flash points for discussions of contemporary moral life. One of the main themes that Dr. McGeough will explore is how these films offer ���typological arguments��� in which the values of the viewer���s era are justified by witnessing characters with recognizable modern beliefs in ancient situations pitted against villains who hold the opposite values, which are associated with contemporary ���others���. After the 1950s, these films showcased veterans dealing with the trauma of their violent encounters, who could be soothed by a faithful wife and by settling down with a family. American Protestantism and democracy are shown, especially through biblical epics of the 1950s and 1960s, as the natural culmination of history. Dr. McGeough argues that viewing the 21st-century Middle East through these lenses has an impact on actual US foreign policy, and these media treatments influence us in unexpected (and often unseeable) ways. Arguments from these films offer apparent scientific accuracy for popular audiences because film can be so realistic. Ironically then, even archaeologically informed film-making can undermine what makes archaeological research in real life so valuable.

These films wax and wane in popularity, so join Prof. McGeough as he explains why this has been the case and discusses how different genres of film impact how the ancient world is treated in the modern era. The webinar泭will conclude with a live Q&A session moderated by泭ANE Today泭Editor, Dr. Alex Joffe.

Dr. Kevin McGeough is Professor of Archaeology in the Department of Geography & Environment at the University of Lethbridge where he holds a Board of Governor���s Research Chair in Archaeological Theory and Reception. The University of Lethbridge is likely the only university in the world in which biblical Hebrew is taught in a geography department. He has excavated in Israel, Egypt, Turkey, Jordan, and Canada and is a co-director of The University of Lethbridge-Royal Alberta Museum Excavations at Head-Smashed-In Buffalo Jump, in southern Alberta.

Kevin has been involved with 17勛圖publications since his days as an undergraduate, when he compiled an index for five years of泭Biblical Archaeologist. He has been the editor of泭泭and the泭, and is now chair of ASOR���s Committee on Publications. He is currently co-editor of the泭Alberta Archaeological Review, and is the author of泭Exchange Relationships at Ugarit,泭Ugaritic Economic Tablets, and a three-volume work,泭The Ancient Near East in the Nineteenth Century. His most recent book is泭Representations of Antiquity in Film: From Griffith to Grindhouse.

CHI Update: Ksar Douiret: First Steps Down the Path

For many, the name Tatooine evokes the arid landscape of the desert planet that plays such an important role in the ���Star Wars��� universe. However, the iconic places and landscapes of this fictional world are built upon the very real history, culture, and environment of Tunisia���s Tataouine Governorate. Since October 2024, 17勛圖and its partners at the Douiret Women���s Association (Wakry Association) have been working to preserve Ksar Douiret, one of the most iconic ksars, or fortified villages, in Tataouine Governorate, with support from the U.S. Department of State���s Ambassadors Fund for Cultural Preservation.

CHI Update: UNESCO Announces Djerba as a Cultural Heritage Site

17勛圖CHI wishes to congratulate our partners in Tunisia for the island of Djerba���s inclusion in UNESCO���s list of world heritage sites. Djerba, located in southern Tunisia, is famous for its religious diversity and natural beauty, which includes numerous Carthaginian and Roman archaeological remains, mosques, churches, and synagogues.

In celebration of this occasion, Safouane Tlili (17勛圖Implementing Partner) has curated a selection of his photographs demonstrating the religious and ethnic pluralism enjoyed on the island.

CHI Update: First Visit to a Djerbian Jewish Home���Lasting Impressions

17勛圖partner Safouane Tlili describes how his understanding of the Djerbian (Tunisia) Jewish community expanded through cooperative GIS documentation work. In May 2023, Tlili had his first chance to participate in the pilgrimage associated with the Lag B’Omer Festival that is held annually at the Ghriba Synagogue. The next day, Tlili joined an 17勛圖delegation and partners from all over Tunisia to visit a Jewish family in their home���the first opportunity in Tlili’s life to do so. These types of encounters seldom happen in Djerba, which Tlili describes in detail in this article.

CHI Update: Spring 2023 Tunisian Implementation Tour

In celebration of ASOR’s continued collaboration with partners in North Africa, 17勛圖organized a Tunisian implementation tour from April 28 ��� May 10, 2023. Many Tunisian partners who have played prominent roles in the project’s success met with 17勛圖leaders and CHI staff. The tour also provided an excellent opportunity for in-person training our new partners from Burkina Faso and Niger, building on virtual training that they received before the trip.

UPDATE: Celebrating Black History Month���Documentation and Outreach Event Commemorating the End of Slavery in Tunisia

On January 23, 1846, Tunisia became the first Arab and Muslim country to ban slavery. On the 177th anniversary of this event, a commemorative day was jointly organized by several 17勛圖partners in Tunisia: The Heritage Laboratory of The University of Manouba, The Manouba Association for Monuments and Culture, and The Association Carthagina. This article recounts the event and closes off fittingly the celebrations of Black History Month. This collaborative project, supported by an anonymous donor, has provided the opportunity to train members from different minority groups in the Maghreb with a wide number of documentation tools.

UPDATE: 17勛圖Initiatives to Safeguard Cultural Heritage in North Africa

Last year, 17勛圖Cultural Heritage Initiatives (17勛圖CHI) received a major grant from an anonymous donor to document, preserve, and promote the cultural heritage of ethnic and religious minorities in Tunisia and Morocco by focusing on the rich traditions of communal collaboration within Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. In late 2022, 17勛圖received a follow-up grant from the anonymous donor to expand the project to Sahel region of Africa (Mali, Niger, Burkina Faso). Many heritage sites in the region face acute threats, which could lead to the loss of an irreplaceable heritage.

UPDATE: 17勛圖CHI AM22 Presentations about Cultural Heritage in Tunisia

With support from a grant from the Public Affairs Section of the U.S. Embassy to Tunisia, seven Tunisian colleagues participated in the in-person 17勛圖Annual Meeting in Boston (November 16-19, 2022). They also presented their research in the virtual meeting in October. The meeting provided a global forum for people to learn about the work of our colleagues and exchange ideas on best practices in cultural heritage stewardship.

UPDATE: Documentation of Amazigh Heritage in Southern Tunisia

Following several successful workshops in Morocco held in September, 17勛圖teamed up with the civil society organization, Carthagina, to implement on a similar training event in the Tataouine governorate in the deep south of Tunisia. The training event (held from October 9-10, 2022) is part of a larger program which advocates for the ethnic and religious freedom of minorities through cultural heritage site documentation, protection, and outreach. The larger program is funded by the same anonymous donor as in Morocco. We selected Tataouine because it is home, together with Djerba, to the majority of the Amazigh Tunisians.

UPDATE: Inauguration of the First Space Dedicated to the Jewish Heritage in Nabeul, Tunisia

17勛圖 three weeks ago (August 14), 17勛圖partnered with The Laboratoire R矇gions et Ressources patrimoniales de Tunisie de l���Universit矇 de Manouba on an event celebrating the Jewish heritage of the city of Nabeul in Tunisia. This event is part of an 18-month 17勛圖project in the Maghreb region, specifically in Tunisia and Morocco, centered on the documentation and preservation of cultural heritage sites belonging to religious and ethnic minorities. It marked the inauguration of the first cultural space dedicated to the Jewish cultural heritage in Nabeul.

On May 20-22, 17勛圖partnered with Libyan Department of Antiquities, the Libyan Museum Suitcase team, the Tunisian Institute national du patrimoine, and the Tunisian Scouts to hold a three-day workshop at the archaeological site of Oudna in Tunisia. This outreach event focused on the protection of cultural heritage in Libya and the Maghreb. The workshop was sponsored by the U.S. Embassy to Libya, External Office (LEO), and it was organized by 17勛圖and the Tunisian Scouts within the framework of a Cultural Property Agreement Implementation Grant (CPAIG). Additional support was provided by the U.S. Embassy to Tunisia.

FOA Webinar: Brenda Baker on September 29

Life and Death along the Nile: Insights from the Bioarchaeology of Nubia Expedition

Friends of ASOR泭present the next webinar in our monthly series on泭September 29, 2022, at 6:00 pm EDT, featuring Prof. Brenda J. Baker and moderated by Prof. Geoff Emberling. The Bioarchaeology of Nubia Expedition (BONE) project area encompasses nearly 100 square meters on the north bank of the Nile River between the fourth and fifth cataracts in northern Sudan. More than 200 sites from the Earlier (more than 250,000 years ago) Stone Age through the Christian period (c. 550-1400 CE) have been documented. Sites include areas of habitation, rock art and gongs, a fort, and cemeteries. Excavated cemeteries consist of clusters of Kerma period graves (c. 2500-1500 BCE) and a large late Meroitic to Christian period cemetery (used c. 200-1400 CE) with burials of more than 100 individuals.

Recent research includes evaluation of evidence that graves were often re-entered within memory of a person���s death to retrieve heirlooms rather than looted without regard for the deceased. Inclusion of imported grave goods reveals integration into far-flung trade networks through time and biogeochemical analyses of tooth enamel show that people during the Kerma period were highly mobile. Spatial and social organization of cemeteries, and distinct characteristics marked during life (e.g., purposeful removal of teeth) or death (e.g., burial with particular items) illuminate aspects of ancient Nubian identity and mortuary behavior.

Join Dr. Baker as she examines the individuals buried in these cemeteries to reveal little known aspects of the lived experiences of the past people who inhabited this area of ancient Sudan.泭Please be aware that images of human remains will be shown during this lecture.泭The webinar泭will conclude with a live Q&A session moderated by Prof. Geoff Emberling (University of Michigan).

Brenda J. Baker is Associate Professor of Anthropology and Curator of Nubian Collections in the Center for Bioarchaeological Research, School of Human Evolution and Social Change, at Arizona State University. She is Director of the ASU Bioarchaeology of Nubia Expedition (BONE), conducting fieldwork in a project area west of Abu Hamed, Sudan. As a bioarchaeologist, her research integrates archaeology and biological anthropology to investigate the lifeways of past people, their funerary practices, and evidence of disease they experienced. She has worked extensively in the U.S. and at Abydos, Egypt. She is also the bioarchaeologist for Princeton University���s project in Polis, Cyprus, where she is analyzing remains of people who were interred in and around two Late Antique to medieval basilicas. Dr. Baker is a founding co-editor of Bioarchaeology International泭and serves on the advisory board of the American-Sudanese Archaeological Research Center (AmSARC). She is a co-organizer (with Geoff Emberling) of the ASOR/AmSARC workshop, ���Reintegrating Africa in the Ancient World.���

FOA Webinar: Kara Cooney on September 15

FRIENDS OF 17勛圖WEBINARS

The Good Kings: The Modern Obsession with Ancient Egyptian Kingship


2 signed copies of this book and Sarah Parcak���s book, The Archaeology from Space, will be given away during the webinar!

泭present the next webinar in our monthly series on泭September 15, 2022, at 6:00 pm EDT, featuring Prof. Kara Cooney and moderated by Prof. Sarah Parcak. In an era when democracies around the world are threatened or crumbling, Egyptologist and best-selling author Kara Cooney examines our modern obsession with ancient Egyptian kingship and especially figures like Tutankhamun, the perennial star of international blockbuster exhibitions. She seeks to understand why the many so often give up power to the few, and what this can mean for our future. This lecture will reveal how the pharaohs and their process of divine kingship can tell us much about the world���s politics, past and present. Every animal-headed god, every monumental temple, every pyramid, every tomb, offers extraordinary insight into a culture that combined deeply held religious beliefs with uniquely human schemes to justify a system in which one ruled over many.

Join Dr. Cooney as she delves into the stories behind some of the most powerful men in all of ancient history, including Tutankhamun, Khufu, Senwosret III, Akenhaten, Ramses II, and Taharqa, to uncover the lessons their kingships can teach us today. The webinar泭will conclude with a live Q&A session moderated by Prof. Sarah Parcak (University of Alabama at Birmingham).

Dr. Kathlyn (Kara) Cooney is a professor of Egyptology at UCLA and Chair of the Department of Near Eastern Languages and Cultures. Specializing in social history, gender studies, and economies in the ancient world, she received her Ph.D. in Egyptology from Johns Hopkins University. In 2005, she was co-curator of Tutankhamun and the Golden Age of the Pharaohs泭at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. Cooney produced a com簫parative archaeology television series, entitled泭Out of Egypt, which aired in 2009 on the Discovery Channel and is available online.

Her popular books include泭The Woman Who Would Be King: Hatshepsut���s Rise to Power in Ancient Egypt泭(2014),泭When Women Ruled the World: Six Queens of Egypt泭(2018; winner of ASOR���s Nancy Lapp Popular Book award in 2019), and泭The Good Kings: Absolute Power in Ancient Egypt and the Modern World泭(2021). Her books,泭Recycling for Death: Coffin Reuse in Ancient Egypt and the Royal Caches泭from American University in Cairo Press, and泭Ancient Egyptian Society: Challenging Assumptions, Exploring Approaches泭from Routledge are forthcoming.

This webinar will be recorded and all paid registrants泭will be sent a link to view the recording.

FOA Webinar: Elizabeth Macaulay on August 28

Columns as Cultural Capital: The Jordanian Practice of Gifting Archaeological Objects


Jerash ��� Temple of Artemis 堿堭奡 ��� ��媢堥堹 塈堭堛����堻

Friends of ASOR泭present the next webinar in our monthly series on泭, August 28, 2022, at 6:00 pm EDT, featuring Prof. Elizabeth R. Macaulay泭and moderated by Prof.泭Morag泭Kersel. At the New York 1964/65 World���s Fair, the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan sponsored a pavilion. Archaeology and the nation���s cultural patrimony were central to several of the displays in the pavilion and were essential to one of the key aims of the pavilion: promoting American tourism to Jordan. A particular vision of archaeology and antiquity, which connected Jordan to the Greco-Roman and Christian pasts was emphasized. The pavilion also aimed to shape American public opinion about the larger geopolitics of the region through a politicized mural about refugees and water rights in the region. As part of the pavilion, a column from Jerash was presented to the city of New York as a lasting token of friendship between Jordan and the United States. In this lecture, the gift of the column will be contextualized in the larger Jordanian practice of gifting columns and capitals to major American cities or various universities with a history of excavations in Jordan. Gifting of columns and capitals is also compared to the Jordanian gifting of a Dead Sea Scroll jar to the Metropolitan Museum of Art (also connected to the World���s Fair) and the Jordanian practice of selling duplicate ���Dead Sea Scroll jars��� in the 1950s and 1960s.

This talk will examine the public presentation of Jordan���s ancient cultural heritage at the fair and the effectiveness of columns and capitals as diplomatic gifts. The webinar泭will conclude with a live Q&A session moderated by Prof. Morag Kersel (DePaul University).

Dr. Elizabeth R. Macaulay is an Associate Professor in the Liberal Studies, Middle Eastern and Digital Humanities Programs at the Graduate Center, CUNY, where she also serves as the Executive Officer in M.A. in Liberal Studies. She is a past Trustee of 17勛圖and a current Trustee of the Archaeological Institute of America and is the Museum Reviews Editor at the American Journal of Archaeology. She is the author or editor of six books, including泭Bayt Farhi and the Sephardic Palaces of Ottoman Damascus in the Late 18th and 19th Centuries泭(AASOR/ Manar al-Athar, 2018) and泭Antiquity in Gotham: The Ancient Architecture of New York City泭(Fordham, 2021).

If you register, you can now get the link to purchase Dr. Macaulay���s book,泭Bayt Farhi and the Sephardic Palaces of Ottoman Damascus in the 17勛圖store.

17勛圖CHI Tutorials

UPDATE: Tutorials for Cultural Heritage Survey

Over the past months, 17勛圖Cultural Heritage Initiatives (CHI) and its partners have developed a series of tutorials and training modules aimed to help cultural heritage specialists perform surveys and condition assessments through open source tools and software, including QGIS, KoboToolbox, LibreCAD, and MetaShape. These tutorials are now available on the 17勛圖website in English, French, and Arabic. Work on these resources has been made possible by a grant from an anonymous donor. While the goal of this project is to assist heritage professionals in documenting and mapping sites, these tutorials are also an excellent resource for anyone in the 17勛圖community who is looking to learn new skills and take advantage of open source software. 17勛圖remains committed to providing open-access online resources such as these for the benefit of the entire 17勛圖community.

The 17勛圖CHI Tutorials cover:

  • Site Documentation
    • KoBoToolbox and泭KoBoCollect Application: open source software package for location and descriptive data collection泭in the field can then be synched up with GIS software
  • Mapping Activities
    • QGIS:泭free and open source Geographic Information System (GIS)
    • LibreCAD: free open source computer-aided design (CAD) application for 2D design
    • Photogrammetry using泭Agisoft Metashape:泭software that performs photogrammetric processing of digital images and generates 3D spatial data

Pp. 3���16: “Eduba R: The Customs of the Eduba,” by Niek Veldhuis

Building on the first edition by Alhena Gadotti and Alexandra Kleinerman (), this article provides a fresh look at the Old Babylonian Sumerian literary text commonly referred to as Eduba R, with translation and commentary. In this composition a pupil describes in some detail how a regular day at the scribal school evolves. The text employs many unusual words and phrases and quite a few passages still remain unclear. Some of the unplaced fragments, edited separately by Gadotti and Kleinerman in their edition, may now be placed securely in the reconstructed text.

Pp. 17-33: “Les M矇tiers F矇minins Dans Les Palais et Grands Domaines De Syrie et Haute-M矇sopotamie au D矇but Du IIE Mill矇naire av. J.-C.,” by Brigitte Lion

The archives discovered in the palaces of Syria and upper Mesopotamia, dating to the Middle Bronze Age, show that many women worked in these buildings. This article brings together data from the sites of Mari (Tell Hariri), Qa廜凍僮ar�� (Tell Rimah), A禳nakkum (Chagar Bazar), Tuttul (Tell Bi���a), and Alalah (Tell A癟ana) to compile an inventory of the female occupations that were carried out there. The fields represented are housekeeping, kitchen work (including food accounting), gatekeeping, and childcare. Except for nannies, most of these occupations have a male counterpart. Among the different types of sources, the ration lists provide a hierarchy of occupations and within occupations.

Pp. 35-61: “Un Balag Du Dieu Soleil Utu (MAH 16066),” by Antoine Cavigneaux

This article consists of an edition of the unique, hitherto unpublished balag MAH 16066. Three ���narrative��� kirugu sections originally totaling 70 lines are followed by an originally 110-line litany that, as shown in a synoptic table, is parallel at several points to at least nine other Old Babylonian second millennium BCE liturgical texts. The composition appears to be associated with a concrete ceremony. As interesting as the core text is the closing line, found also in other balags, with its benediction built on the construction 禳羅d(u)-bi ��� gi4-gi4 to invoke the blessing deities named in the litany.

Pp. 63-74: “The Sages and the Sons of Nippur: An Edition of LKA 76 (VAT 13839) From Assur,” by Zachary Rubin

The Late Assyrian tablet LKA 76 (VAT 13839) from Assur is inscribed with two bilingual Sumerian-Akkadian texts, possibly incantations for rituals, that are concerned with prominent cities in southern Mesopotamia. The obverse is inscribed with a unique composition in which entities calling themselves the ���Sons of Nippur��� declare their affiliation with the city of Nippur and its deities. The composition inscribed on the reverse, known to have been incorporated into the apotropaic series b蘋t m��seri, consists of anecdotes in the lives of four apkallu-sages of human descent. The two compositions bridge the purported origins of Mesopotamian scholarly wisdom in the divine realm with its contemporary utilization among ritual experts.

Pp. 75-87: “Crime and Punishment in Hittite Anatolia: A New Interpretation of the Verb ��aku(u怉a)-/��akuu怉ai- (with an etymological contribution by Alwin Kloekhorst),” by Willemijn Waal

In Hittite, various verbs with a stem 禳aku(u怉a)-/禳akuu怉ai- have been identified. These include the verb 禳akuu怉ai- ���to see,��� as well as three verbs of which the meaning is less evident: one (CHD 禳aku(u怉a)-/禳akuu怉ai- A) referring to a type of penalty, one (CHD 禳aku(u怉a)-/禳akuu怉ai- B) which is usually taken to mean ���to moisten (?)��� or ���to soak(?),��� and one (CHD 禳akuu怉ai- D) of which the meaning is unknown. In this article, it will be argued that the verbs 禳aku(u怉a)-/禳akuu怉ai- A and B are actually one and the same verb with the meaning ���to plant,��� ���to stab,��� or ���to impale.��� This new interpretation not only elucidates some thus far opaque attestations of the verb 禳aku(u怉a)-/禳akuu怉ai-, but also improves our understanding of Hittite corporal punishments.

Pp. 89-108: “Women and the Interpretation of Dreams In Sumerian and Akkadian Literature,” by Gina Konstantopoulos

This article is a study of the place of dream interpretation in key Mesopotamian texts, principally in the Sumerian Cylinders of Gudea, Curse of Agade, Dumuzi���s Dream, and the Akkadian Standard Babylonian Epic of Gilgamesh. In these texts, when the protagonist receives prophetic dreams, he then seeks out a dream-interpreter, usually a woman related to or close to the dreamer. Within the Epic of Gilgamesh, this position is also filled by Enkidu, who interprets Gilgamesh���s dreams as well as his own. Enkidu���s interpretation of his own dream is unusual but not unique, as Nar��m-S簾n showcases a similar ability in the Curse of Agade. This discussion is set alongside a consideration of the female dream interpreter (munusensi or 禳��尨iltu) as attested outside of the literary sphere. Though attestations to the female dream interpreter are limited, they still far outnumber any references to the women within more technical divinatory contexts, such as the proposed female equivalent to the diviner (b��r羶), the b��r蘋tu.

Pp. 109-129: “The Assyrian King of the Broken Obelisk, the Date of the Archive from Giricano, and the Timing of the Assyrian Calendar Reform,” by Daisuke Shibata

Following the recent debate on the dating of the Broken Obelisk, which is commonly believed to have been composed in the reign of A禳禳ur-b��l-kala, the present article provides a comprehensive review of the issues pertinent to the dating of this Assyrian inscription, as well as related topics such as the date of the Assyrian calendar reform and the Giricano archive. The results reveal that the Broken Obelisk should be attributed to Tiglath-pileser I rather than A禳禳ur-b��l-kala. The Assyrian calendar reform occurred probably sometime between the thirty-first year (possibly the thirty-third year) to the thirty-sixth year of the reign of Tiglath-pileser I. The Broken Obelisk was composed sometime in the fourth decade of Tiglath-pileser���s reign after this calendar reform, representing the latest version of his annals known to date. The Giricano archive also dates from late in his reign. Many of the events that have been dated to the early years of A禳禳ur-b��l-kala���s reign, such as the payment of tribute to Assyria by an Egyptian king, took place during the reign of Tiglath-pileser I.

Pp. 185-204: “Minor Archives from First-Millennium BCE Babylonia: The R����i-sis礙 Archive from Sippar (The Archive of ��ama禳-Iddin Son of Niq贖du Descendant of R����i-sis礙),” by Yuval Levavi

This contribution provides editions of all known texts belonging to the archive of the R����i-sis礙 family from Sippar. It further includes a discussion of the (relatively modest scale) business profile of its main protagonist, ��ama禳-iddin/Niq贖du//R����i-sis礙, who was active during the second half of the sixth century BCE (546/530���518 BCE). The present study is the third installation of a larger collaborative effort to make available the Minor Archives from First Millennium BCE Babylonia, the results of which are to be published in volumes of this journal. A companion volume containing copies of all tablets published in this series as well as a comprehensive prosopography is in preparation for the Journal of Cuneiform Studies Supplemental Series.

Pp. 205-222: “Eine Sp瓣tbabylonische Synkretistische Hymne an Nab羶,” by Hannelore Agnethler, Ekaterine Gogokhia, Enrique Jim矇nez, Alessia Pilloni, and Albert Set瓣l瓣

The article contains the first edition of a hymn to Nab羶 probably from Neo-Babylonian or Achaemenid Borsippa. The text, written in a fixed ABA��氫 structure, extols Nab羶 by attributing to him some feats traditionally ascribed to other gods, such as killing Anz羶 or defeating the Sea. Nab羶 is presented as the highest of all gods, which gives occasion to discuss the so-called ���Exaltation of Nab羶��� in other first-millennium texts.
