Construction Work in Mesopotamia in the Time of the Third Dynasty of Ur (End of the Third Millennium BC): Archaeological and Textual Evidence
Résumé
The recent publication of the Sumerian archive of Garshana, with some 200 cuneiform tablets dealing with building activities and dating around 2000 BC, give us invaluable information about an ancient “constructive culture”. The textual evidence may be linked with the archaeological data in order to study in much detail the association of earthen and vegetal material in the construction.
