The Roving Other
Much of the literature on pastoralists and empire concerns mobile tribes and often focuses on imperial schemes of resettlement, or tribal thwarting of state initiatives. This submission argues that in mid-first-millennium BCE Babylonia, large bureaucratic temples stood between the imperial state and Babylonia’s mobile class of shepherds. This article then explores this dynamic further, focusing on the use of administrative information as a point …
“Check the Writing Boards from the Time of Nebuchadnezzar”
Dans cet article, nous publions le texte du Spurlock Museum 1913-14-1574 (CDLI No. P421426) de l’Université de l’Illinois, un inventaire d’écritoires administratives conservées dans des boîtes en roseau provenant du temple Eanna d’Uruk, datant probablement de la fin du règne de Nabuchodonosor II. Après avoir discuté des problèmes philologiques du texte, l’article le replace dans son contexte de trois manières principales : premièrement, en ce qui…

The Sacrificial Economy
In the mid-first millennium B.C., the Eanna temple at Uruk sacrificed a minimum of nine lambs every day in its basic routine of offerings to its gods; in addition to these, special occasions and festivals demanded the sacrifice of as many as 90 lambs in a single day. All told, the Eanna sacrificed about 4,300 lambs per year. There were more than 120 herdsmen connected to the Eanna at any given time, and the temple expected there to be tens of tho…

Lamb, Mutton, and Goat in the Babylonian Temple Economy
In the mid-first millennium B.C.E., the Eanna temple of Uruk distributed the meat of sheep and goats to its associates and dependents. The meat of post-sacrificial lambs went to the Eanna’s prebend holding elite, while others received the meat of goats and older sheep without ceremony and on the hoof. Many assume this latter distribution worked to supply the Eanna’s lowest classes with substandard meat. I argue, instead, that there was nothing in…
Temple, Economy, and Religion in First Millennium Babylonia
The study of economy and religion in Babylonia during the first millennium bc is primarily that of two well‐documented temples, the Eanna temple of the city of Uruk and the Ebabbar of Sippar. The administrative archives of those temples – consisting of tens of thousands of cuneiform texts – allow us to understand parts of the temple economy in great detail, while at the same time this abundance of material frustrates traditional approaches to Bab…
