This paper studies interactions in Kassite Babylonia using a prosopographical database to analyze actors’ roles based on their activities and interactions.
This paper examines the life and administrative role of Ninurta-zākir-šumi during the Middle Kassite period, using newly discovered tablets to provide a more detailed picture of his activities in the Nippur region. By reconstructing his family lineage, the paper also connects him to the influential House of Enlil-kidinnī. This research contributes to a deeper understanding of his role in managing resources in the Nippur countryside.
The project aims to investigate the management of primary resources in Kassite Babylonia (XIV-XIII cent. BC) through a prosopographic study of individuals and social groups that appear in contemporary cuneiform administrative documents.
