Based on twenty years of intensive research Jursa presents a brick-like investigation and inventory of many economic facets of first millennium BC Mesopotamia. The study is based on more than 21,500 tablets of which copies or transliterations are available to the "Vienna Economic History of Babylonia project" can be assigned to an archive and hence normally also to a particular place of origin. The bulk of the material comes from Babylon, Borsippa, Nippur, Sippar and Uruk and bears witness of the movements of goods and people (chapter 2), the strategies of investment within local and interregional trade (chapter 3) and agriculture in the rural landscapes surrounding the cities (chapter 4) according to private as well as temple archives. Special attention is paid to the development of silver used as money (chapter 5). --- Highly recommended for CEOs (whether currently employed or unemployed). Extensive indices enable easy access to the wealth of information.

The book presents a comprehensive treatment of a family archive originating from Neo-Babylonian Sippar complete with editions and handcopies of the texts. Among the subjects treated in the commentary are the prebendary system of the Ebabbar temple, various dues and taxes, and agriculture.The archive is shown to exhibit strong traces of the activity of apprentice scribes; it can in fact be considered to be a 'school archive,' the setting of the 'school' being the archive owner's family. It is only part of a larger group, the other part of which is an archive of medical texts (also consisting mostly of school tablets) studied by Irving Finkel.
