Paris, Editions Recherche sur les civilisations, 1985. 255,[1] pp. 99 plts with b./w. ills. Orig. softcover (pictorial wrappers). 4to. (Éditions Recherche sur les civilisations, Mémoire no 61).This scholarly catalogue inventories and analyzes thousands of clay tablets unearthed during French excavations at the site of Tello (the ancient city of Girsu) in present-day Iraq. These are economic and administrative texts (agricultural accounts, livestock inventories, ration distributions, land sales contracts) dating mainly from the Neo-Sumerian period (Third Dynasty of Ur, c. 2100-2000 BCE) and the Early Dynastic period. These artifacts are preserved in the Louvre's Near Eastern Antiquities department, specifically in the rooms dedicated to Archaic Mesopotamia. - Text in French.
