A Hurrian Letter from Tell Brak

Abstract

During the 1990 season of excavations at Tell Brak, the lower part of a cuneiform tablet (TB 11021) was found in the “Mitanni palace” in Area HH. The fragment was immediately identified as Hurrian by Dr. Jesper Eidem, who kindly ceded his primary rights to the present author. I am much indebted to Dr. Eidem for his generosity as well as for his readiness to supply his hand-copy of the tablet for study and publication (Fig. 1). I should also like to thank the Directors of the excavations at Tell Brak, Professor David Oates and Dr. Joan Oates, who gave the permission to publish the important new find and provided excellent photographs (Plate XXXII). I am also grateful to Dr. Diana Stein for reading my text and improving my English.
