	Semitic Museum - Nuzi - Tablets
		Never a major urban center, Nuzi was a provincial agricultural town in the small Hurrian kingdom of Arrapha, whose capital is today buried under the Iraqi city of Kirkuk.
		To the west was Assyria, whose revolt against the Hurrian kingdom of Mittani probably led to Nuzi's destruction in the 14th century (Stratum II of the site), and ultimately contributed to Mittani's collapse.
		At the center of Nuzi was a palace, a finely appointed building from which the mayor oversaw the town's administration.

	Nuzi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Nuzi was an ancient city southwest of Kirkuk in modern Iraq, located near the Tigris river.
		From about 1500 to 1350 BC Nuzi was located on the outskirts of the Kingdom of Mitannia, a major power in northern Mesopotamia, before being absorbed into the Assyrian Empire.
		Excavations in the 1920s unearthed Nuzi and, crucially, its archives of thousands of clay tablets inscribed with Akkadian cuneiform script.

	Fragments of a Forgotten Past
		The Nuzi collection is also valuable because of the light it throws on the Hurrians, an ancient people who are historically important, but not very well known.
		There are strings of glass beads that may have hung from the temple walls, ceremonial weapons brandished by Ishtar in her warrior aspect, and a number of ceramic representations of lions.
		"Nuzi is politically provincial to Mittani and culturally provincial to Babylonia," said Armstrong.

		Nuzi was a Hurrian administrative center not far from the Hurrian capital at Kirkuk in northern Iraq.
		Family records were highly valued at Nuzi, being passed down from father to son for as many as six generations.

	"Comparative Methods and the Patriarchal Narratives" by Martin J. Selman
		In one notable case, that of wife-sister marriage, the explanation proposed was sufficiently far-reaching for it to be suggested that the supposed original tradition of wife-sister marriage was not understood by those who brought together the biblical text.
		The date of the 'patriarchal age' given on the basis of the usual parallels varies from the beginning of the second millennium BC (Albright, Glueck), to the middle of the first half of the second millennium (Wright, Bright), to the 'Amarna age' (Gordon).
		In Nuzi alone, some 300 texts relating to family law are known, but only four or five are regularly considered in discussion of the patriarchal narratives.

		In their case, a metallurgical analysis of artifacts excavated in the 1920s is causing archaeologists to reevaluate the entire timeline of a Late Bronze Age site in the Near East called Nuzi.
		From about 1500 to 1350 b.c.e., Nuzi was located on the outskirts of the Kingdom of Mitannia, a major power in northern Mesopotamia.
