A Rediscovered Akkadian City
A newly recovered inscription of Manistūsu records the building of a temple of Ninhursaa at a city whose name is written HA.A KI. The text is inscribed on a stone door-socket (now in private hands) found in situ and excavated, probably in the 1930s, at Kharā'ib Ghḍairīfe. Ghḍairīfe is a large mound on the right bank of the 'Aḍaim close to its confluence with the Tigris. There are several other tells in the immediate vicinity, such as Tell al-Dhuh…

Brigitte Groneberg's book is a thoughtful and discursive essay on a number of problems in the grammar, understood in the broadest sense, of a Babylonian dialect. With one comprehensive dictionary complete and another, even more comprehensive, moving in that direction, with a basic general grammar of Akkadian and several survey-grammars of the various historical stages and geographical dialects in existence, it is entirely appropriate that we shou…

Now excavations conducted by the Iraqi Department of Antiquities and Heritage at Me-Turnat (modern Tell Haddad) have produced a first-millennium tablet in Babylonian script from the Neo-Assyrian Period occupation of the site, giving the text of tab…

Macroaccessibility and Mesoaccessibility
Accessibility measures are presented which provide a means of understanding the internal spatial structure of radically different urban forms and of assessing the impact on residents of land-use and transport policies. It discusses the results of the application to Sapporo in Japan of a set of measures intended for the comparison of accessibility patterns between, within, and across cities in Pacific Rim countries. After detailing an appropriate …
