The fluidity of empire: Hydraulics of neo-assyrian canal systems in relation to their possible uses
The Neo-Assyrian empire offers a clear example of the key relationship between imperial power and water management. Irrigated landscapes under the direct impulse of the Assyrian state were important during its imperial heydays of the late 9th to 7th centuries BC. In the very heartland of the empire (the “Assur-Nineveh-Arbela Triangle” this imperialization of the landscape was the most dramatic, with large canals, aqueducts, and dams redirecting w…

On Some Metrological Issues Affecting Yield Estimates in Second-Millennium BCE Upper Mesopotamia
Comparative and quantitative analyses of second millennium BCE agriculture in Upper Mesopotamia are often hindered by the use of absolute values for metrological units of surface and capacity that are based on third millennium southern Mesopotamian documentations. The evidence suggests to the contrary that different metrological systems were used through space and time, and that both their relative and absolute values varied to a great extent, ev…

Amorites
The designation “Amorite” (Akkadian amurru ,Sumerian MAR.TU) denotes the peoples and polities of the “West,” from a Mesopotamian perspective; thus, it refers to the Syrian steppe and its inhabitants, in particular the West Semitic‐speaking population groups who came to dominate Syro‐Mesopotamia in the early second millennium BCE .
Ilkum
Derived from the Akkadian root 'LK “to go,” hence “to follow, serve,” ilku(m) denotes a service (performed by either the beneficiary or a substitute) owed to the royal authority in exchange for an allotment of land. By extension, it also refers to that plot of land, and a sum paid in lieu of the service. The Akkadian word ilku(m) is attested in the second and first millennia BCE , but its Sumerian counterparts Giš D U S U and Š U K U are already …
Awīlum, muškēnum , and wardum
The Laws of Hammurabi (eighteenth century BCE ; see Hammurabi of babylon and his dynasty) divide Babylonian society into three social classes (or orders), awīlum, muškēnum , and wardum , the penalty inflicted for certain crimes varying depending on the status of the perpetrator and victim. The nature of this tripartite division and its social implications are still debated among scholars, especially since these terms are polysemic and vary accord…
Hana, Hanaean
The gentilic Hana (Akkadian hanûm, hana ) appears in texts from Mari (Tell Hariri) (eighteenth century BCE ), where it refers to nomads, and from Terqa (sixteenth–fourteenth centuries), perhaps with a geographic referent; it recurs occasionally in later literature.
