Overview

Yale University excavations at Tell Leilan--long-sought Shubat Enlil, the 19th century BC capital city of the Great Kingdom of Upper Mesopotamia --retrieved more than a thousand clay tablets from the city's royal archives. This highly-anticipated edition of those texts presents the letters and treaties recording the political machinations of the states and empires that sought control of Near Eastern land, labor, and agricultural riches in the wake of Shubat Enlil's collapse.
