  • Lead occurrence in North Carolina well water

    Open AccessLinnea M Wilson, Linnea Wilson et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2024

    Private wells often lack centralized oversight, drinking water quality standards, and consistent testing methodologies. For lead in well water, the lack of standardized data collection methods can impact reported measurements, which can misinform health risks. Here, we conducted a targeted community science testing of 1143 wells across 17 counties in North Carolina (USA) and compared results to state testing data primarily associated with new wel…

  • Old Babylonian Lunar-Eclipse Omen Tablets in the British Museum

    Andrew George, Junko TaniguchiARTICLEJournal of Cuneiform Studies2024

    This article presents a first edition of four clay tablets inscribed with omens arising from eclipses of the moon. As products of the middle and late Old Babylonian periods they represent the oldest examples of compendia of lunar-eclipse omens yet discovered and thus provide important new information about celestial divination among the peoples of southern Mesopotamia in the early second millennium BCE. The tablets are edited with appended philol…

  • An = Anum and Related Lists

    W G Lambert, Ryan Winters et al.BOOKAn = Anum and Related Lists2023

    This volume is the first in a planned edition of the complete corpus of ancient Mesopotamian god lists. It contains the lists »An = Anum« (including its forerunners) and »An = Anu ša amēli« along with several similar, more-or-less fragmentary lists. The god list An = Anum was, with its ca. 2000 entries, the most comprehensive list of its kind. It is systematically organized and contains explanations both of individual deities and of certain group…

  • Drinking Water Disparities in North Carolina Communities Served by Private Wells

    Open AccessAndrew George, Kathleen Gray et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Justice2023

    Well-reliant populations in socially and economically marginalized communities will likely remain unaware of potential exposure to contaminated drinking water absent focused efforts to encourage well testing and treatment

  • Two Remarkable Vocabularies

    Andrew George, Manfred KrebernikARTICLERevue d assyriologie et d…2022

    Cet article présente deux tablettes paleo-babyloniennes inédites sur lesquelles sont inscrits des vocabulaires bilingues similaires. La langue de la colonne de droite est l’akkadien paléo-babylonien. La langue de la colonne de gauche est principalement du Nord-Ouest sémitique, avec un certain mélange d’akkadien. Les éditions des deux tablettes sont accompagnées d’un commentaire qui trouve des parallèles pour cette langue dans la grammaire et le v…

  • Gilgamesh dreams of Enkidu

    Andrew George, Andrew R George et al.ARTICLERevue d assyriologie et d…2020

    Cet article présente un fragment babylonien de l’épopée de Gilgamesh qui se trouve actuellement au Musée de Suleimaniyah. Le passage conservé décrit comment Gilgamesh rêve de la venue de l’homme sauvage Enkidu. Il a de nombreux points communs avec d’autres versions du même épisode, aussi bien du deuxième que du premier millénaire. L’article compare les similitudes et les différences des différentes versions du passage, et conclut que le fragment …

  • An Old Babylonian Dialogue between a Father and his Son

    Benjamin R Foster, Andrew George et al.ARTICLEZeitschrift für Assyriologie und…2020

    This article is the editio princeps of a large Old Babylonian clay prism, now in the Yale Babylonian Collection. The text written on it is a long wisdom composition that is hitherto mostly unknown. It begins with a father and son embroiled in an abusive dialogue, and ends with a monologue in which the father looks forward to death and curses his son. The critical edition is accompanied by cuneiform copies and photographs

  • Enkidu and the Harlot

    A R George, Andrew GeorgeARTICLEZeitschrift für Assyriologie und…2018

    This article presents a newly deciphered Old Babylonian fragment of the Epic of Gilgameš. The passages of text preserved on it tell of Enkidu’s encounter with the prostitute and of his arrival in the city of Uruk, and clarify the relationship between other sources for the same episode. The perceived difference between the Old and Standard Babylonian poems’ treatment of Enkidu’s seduction disappears. The extant versions can be reconciled in a sing…

  • On Babylonian Lavatories and Sewers

    Open AccessA R George, Andrew GeorgeARTICLEIraq2015

    This study begins by examining the archaeological and documentary evidence for lavatories (toilets) and foul-water drains in ancient Mesopotamian dwelling houses. It goes on to investigate the use, etymology and history of the Akkadian word asurrû : in the Old Babylonian period it served mainly as a term for a kind of foul-water drain or “sewer” but later shed that meaning.

  • The Gods Išum and Ḫendursanga

    A R George, Andrew GeorgeARTICLEJournal of Near Eastern Studies2015Referências: 1

    The ancient Mesopotamian gods Ium and endursanga have been studied separately and together. 1 It is not the purpose here to repeat the evidence and ideas put forward in these studies, but to explore a role of these two gods that has repercussions for our knowledge of the urban environment in ancient Mesopotamia

  • The Dogs of Ninkilim, part two

    Open AccessA R George, Andrew George et al.ARTICLEIraq2010

    This article presents editions of all the extant Babylonian incantations against field pests. The sources date to the first millennium BC and many have not been published before. They are mostly tablets of the Neo-Assyrian period, from Ashurbanipal's library at Nineveh, but the corpus also contains some Neo-Babylonian fragments from Nineveh, as well as a tablet from Sultantepe (ancient Huzirina) and two Late Babylonian tablets from southern Mesop…

  • Akkadian turru (ṭurru B) “corner angle”, and the walls of Babylon

    A R George, Andrew GeorgeARTICLEZeitschrift für Assyriologie und…2008

    This article (a) examines the Akkadian word turru, sometimes ṭurru, in architectural contexts and finds it to designate an angle at the intersection of two walls. In the light of this discovery the article goes on (b) to elucidate passages of Nebuchadnezzar II's inscriptions that describe his construction of the defences of Babylon on either side of the Ištar Gate, and (c) to consider other instances of turru, from which it emerges (d) that the m…

  • Tablets from the Sippar Library XIII Enūma Anu Ellil XX

    Open AccessF N H Al-Rawi, Farouk Ν H Al-Rawi et al.ARTICLEIraq2006

    The Sippar Library tablet IM 124485 is a new source for Tablet XX of Enūma Anu Ellil (EAE) , the great compilation of Babylonian celestial and meteorological omens. The twentieth tablet of the series, which deals principally with lunar eclipses on the fourteenth day of each month of the year, was edited by Francesca Rochberg in 1988 along with all the other tablets of lunar-eclipse omens in EAE (Rochberg-Halton 1988: Chapter 10). Rochberg was una…

  • The Royal libraries of Nineveh

    Open AccessGrant Frame, A R George et al.ARTICLEIraq2005

    The two tablets published here for the first time, BM 45642 and BM 28825, are edited together for good reason, for the historical background of both texts is very probably the same episode in King Ashurbanipal's drive to acquire scribal learning. Where BM 28825 concerns the reception of the Assyrian king's demand for tablets among the citizens of Babylon, BM 45642 deals with the reaction of scholars of nearby Borsippa to a similar royal message. …

  • Tablets from the Sippar Library XI. The Babylonian Almanac

    Khalid Ismael, Khalid Salim Isma'El et al.ARTICLEIraq2002

    The Babylonian Almanac is a text that gives abbreviated prescriptions for the days of the year. Since it was last edited, by René Labat in 1941 (“Un almanach babylonien”, RA 38, 13–40), new sources for the almanac have steadily accrued. Two more copies of the text have been identified among the tablets of the library discovered in the temple of Šamaš at Sippar by archaeologists of the University of Baghdad in 1986. Both are full almanacs, that is…

  • Tablets from the Sippar Library. VII. Three Wisdom Texts

    A R George, Andrew George et al.ARTICLEIraq1998

    The present article in the series begun in Iraq 52 and continued in Volumes 56–8 offers three tablets from the Sippar library which add to our knowledge of the genre of Babylonian literature known today as “wisdom”: a manuscript of Tablet I of Ludlul bēl nēmeqi (The Poem of the Righteous Sufferer), a copy of the great Šamaš Hymn, and a tablet inscribed with a small collection of proverbs.Since W. G. Lambert's edition of Ludlul in Babylonian Wisdo…

  • Tablets from the Sippar Library VI. Atra-ḫasīs

    A R George, Andrew George et al.ARTICLEIraq1996

    The Babylonian myth known to the ancients as Enūma ilū awëlum, “When the Gods Were Man”, and to modern scholarship as the Epic of Atra-ḫasīs, tells the wondrous story of the creation of mankind, of the attempts of the king of the gods, Enlil, to reduce the overpopulation that resulted from its unchecked reproduction — by plague, drought, famine and, most disastrously, the Deluge — and of the measures then taken by the gods to keep mankind's futur…

  • Tablets from the Sippar Library V. An Incantation from Mīs pî

    F N H Al-Rawi, Farouk Ν H Al-Rawi et al.ARTICLEIraq1995

    The tablet IM 124645 was excavated in 1986 in niche 3 A of the library. It offers a version of an incantation from Tablet III of Mīs pî, the series of rituals that accompanied the restoration and re-animation of divine statues. In the incantation a purification priest requests the gods Ea, Šamaš and Asalluḫi to “determine the destiny” of the divine statue so that it may be provided with a mouth to eat and ears to hear. Our knowledge of this incan…

  • The Bricks of E-Sagil

    A R George, Andrew GeorgeARTICLEIraq1995

    The intention of this article is to continue the process of comparing modern archaeological data relating to Babylon and its buildings with the ancient written sources. Previous work has produced results for the topography of the city, particularly the location of the city's gates, quarters and temples, and has achieved some success with two individual structures, namely the temple of Marduk under the mound Amran ibn Ali, and the eastern city wal…

  • Tablets from the Sippar Library. III. Two Royal Counterfeits

    F N H Al-Rawi, Farouk Ν H Al-Rawi et al.ARTICLEIraq1994

    This article continues the publication of tablets from the library of the temple of Šamaš at Sippar begun in volume 52 of this journal. Presented here are the library's copies of two texts which have in common the fact that they are not what they purport to be: Maništūšu's cruciform monument, and a literary letter of Samsu-iluna. Both texts are clearly fictitious compositions which postdate their supposed royal authors by a long time. Their purpo…
