These administrative documents date to the Third Dynasty of Ur (Ur III, ca. 2112-2004 BCE) of Mesopotamian history and are from Puzrish-Dagan (modern Drehem in southern Iraq). The editions of the 689 Ur III texts, arranged by their catalogue numbers, are significant for further study of how the Puzrish-Dagan organization functioned. New evidence has been gleaned and new conclusions can be drawn from texts in this book. The Harvard Semitic Studies series publishes volumes from the Harvard Museum of the Ancient Near East. Other series offered by Brill that publish volumes from the Museum include Studies in the Archaeology and History of the Levant and Harvard Semitic Monographs, https://hmane.harvard.edu/publications"-- ER -
