Some Considerations on Animal-Hair Threads, Ropes, and Boats in Early Babylonia
Of marginal importance to the textile industry, goat hair and low-quality wool nonetheless provided coarse threads (Sumerian: si-NU×U/si-U.NU/niĝ2-U.NU-a) that held particular value in the manufacture of fishing nets and of ropes used for the construction and maintenance of boats—a widespread means of transportation for people and goods across the alluvial plain. After a brief overview of well-documented information mostly available from Ur III s…
Insights into the State’s Periphery and Core
The present contribution offers the edition of eight texts from the Ur III period that were confiscated by the Iraqi authorities and subsequently entrusted to the Iraq Museum. These tablets, believed to have originated from royal archives, provide insights into economic activities of royal concern in peripheral areas or within the hinterland of the state’s core. Thereby, they contribute to adding new pieces to the puzzle of our understanding of t…

Towards desirable futures for the circular adaptive reuse of buildings
Research on adaptive reuse often overlooks multi-criteria integration in decisions. • This paper presents a mixed-methods approach for adaptive reuse decision-making. • The method blends cross-impact analysis, scenarios, and participatory workshops. • AI-generated narratives and visuals enhance participatory workshop outcomes. • 'Big picture' scenarios link to practical circular building adaptability strategies. Adaptive reuse of buildings offers…

Fish was an important natural resource in Lower Mesopotamia. The ancient inhabitants could easily rely on the nutrients and fats derived from fishes abundant in the diverse aquatic biomes of its rivers, lakes, marshes and the gulf. Specifically, fats held significant value in ancient societies, and, besides its nutritional benefit, fish can also provide oil as a useful fatty substance. However, archaeo(zoo)logical data are uninformative as far as…

Whips were tools used for approaching large animals and thus they were part of the equipment of individuals engaged in the catching of local large preys, who can be understood as hunters. However, the environment plays a key-role in the understanding of this professional figure, as it determined the range of other animals they could catch and, accordingly, a basic differentiation between land hunters and fishermen/hunters, the latters specificall…
