Drehem Administrative Documents from the Reign of Amar-Suena
Presented in a systematic arrangement that is based on both date and contents, these administrative documents may be considered indispensable primary sources for the study of the socio-economic, political, and religious history during the reign of Amar-Suena.
The volume features an annotated typology of Drehem administrative records from the reign of Amar-Suena, detailed philological commentaries on individual texts and text groups, transliterations of all documents, a complete glossary, extensive analytical charts, as well as illustrations (hand copies, photographs) of selected cuneiform tablets.

Sigrist surveyed the Ur III attestations of this establishment and concluded that it was probably a residence of some importance at Drehem visited by high functionaries including the queen, but that it was within the administrative purview of the “cook”.
The Drehem tablets PDT 1, 404, AUCT 3, 127, 129, 139 etc., contain parallel accounts, regularly sealed by Ur-mes, recording the transfer from Tahiš-atal of a number of animals to the official responsibility of Duga.

 Saving Antiquities For Everyone
These aerial photographs taken in September, 2003 by the Italian Carabinieri (national police)—who were responsible for guarding archaeological sites in the region of Nassyriah—show the extent of the destruction at Abbas al-Kurdi, Jokha, Sifr, Tell Medinah, Tell Schmid, Umm al-Aqarib, and Zabalam.
Mashkan Shapir became a secondary political capital under the dynasty of Larsa, which was conquered by Hammurabi (ca 1792-1750), although unlike Larsa itself it was not destroyed and continued to be an important city in the early Old Babylonian period.
Drehem, ancient Puzrish Dagan, is the source of hundred of thousand of cuneiform administrative texts written in Sumerian, dating from the Ur III Dynasty ca 2100-2000 BC.

2(u) 20 (animals in total) Here we have a receipt for a group of lambs and goats originally from Ur that were transferred from the account of Abbasaga, the head of the Drehem administration, to the bureau of Nalu, one of his deputies.
Once the herd had been “received” by Abbasaga, he turned them over to Nalu, and when Nalu assumed control of the group of animals he generated Valdosta 3 to reflect the transfer of responsibility.
Hilgert has dealt with Nalu’s role in the administrative of Drehem to a limited extent in several publications (Hilgert 1998, 15-16; 2003, 64-65).

The tablets are from illicit excavations of Drehem, Djokha and Tello, Drehem especially frequently since 1904.
The modest number of Girsu texts may be due to the way the Likhachev collection was divided after 1917: the Pushkin Museum possesses several hundred Ur III documents from Girsu а why they were selectively moved to Moscow is unknown.
As for different Drehem archives, we have about 25 texts from the archive of Shulgi-simti and two from the Treasury archive, the rest coming from the main royal archive.

 Institute of Archaeology Publications Department - Andrews University
The Institute of Archaeology Publications, Assyriological Series, was conceived to facilitate the publication of material which is of interest to Assyriologists, specifically, to provide a context in which to present the analysis of the Horn Archaeological Museum's cuneiform tablet collection of about 3000 tablets which comprises about 10% of those recovered from Drehem.
As the reconstruction of Mesopotamian history is directly linked to and based upon the sequence of its kings, the first three volumes in the series are ready references to the list of kings of Isin and Larsa.
This, the first of several volumes publishing the cuneiform tablets in the Horn Museum, presents 974 tablets dated to the Ur III period, and mostly from Drehem.

A Babylonian baked clay tablet letter enclosed in a partially broken envelope case (ca.
2200 B.C.), from Drehem, Mesopotamia, is stored separately from the rest of the collection, and therefore its date is not included in this range of collection dates.
The letter, in cuneiform characters, is the larger of the two pieces, and has to do with grain which was given out for seed by the priests of the temple.

Sargon of Akkad and his grandson Naram-sin, the conquerors of much of Mesopotamia, each claim to have destroyed Ebla; the exact date of destruction is the subject of continuing debate, but 2240 BC is a probable candidate.
During the next three centuries, Ebla reached again a relevant economic position, possibly with the nearby city of Urshu, as is documented by economic texts from Drehem (a suburb of Nippur), and from findings in Kultepe/Kanesh.
Ebla in the second millennium BC Several centuries after its destruction by the Akkadians, Ebla managed to recover some of its importance, and had a second apogee lasting from about 1850 to 1600 BC.
