[Journal Article] The Business of Mr. Ninurta-zākir-šumi: Activities of an Official Within the Kassite Administration

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.
