A Neo-Assyrian Legal Document from Tell Sitak
Year: 2017
Type: book-chapter
Abstract: This contribution offers the publication of a fragmentary Neo-Assyrian private legal document, most likely a conveyance of land and people, from the fortified site of Tell Sitak in the province of Sulaymaniyah, Kurdish Autonomous Region of Iraq.The site is situated in the Assyrian province of Mazamua (or Zamua) and can perhaps be identified with the fortress of Larbusa.It offers further support for the identification of the ancient city of Arrakdi with Sulaymaniyah.
