They are accounts of people listed by name, profession and sometimes provenience The guage in which the texts are written is plausibly Old Akkadian, and so is a majority of personal names, but several names may be explained as Hurrian The date is that of the later portion of the Sargonic period. Besides providing a complete philological treatment of the texts, this fascicle briefly describes the archaeological context - a stratigraphically well defined deposit within a sizeable stone building; it also provides a brief report on the work of the sixth season of excavations.
