Abstract

Abstract: The present research is a study of six cuneiform texts with economic connotations dating back to the Late Old Babylonian period. These texts have been discovered at Tell Abu Habba, the city of Sippar, during 24th season of excavations conducted by the Department of Archaeology, College of Arts, University of Baghdad, in 2002, when 700 cuneiform texts have been found in one important buildings, which is considered as a large quantity. It is worth noting this building is considered as one of the important buildings by the excavators, because of its location in the middle of the city on the one hand, and also because it contains this considerable number of clay tablets on the other hand.All of these discovered texts are kept in the Iraqi Museum, and through studying the historical date formula of these texts, we found that most of them belong to the reign of the Babylonian king Amme-adoqa (1646-1626 BC).
