Description
Summary:This collection of 47 documents, all in English, discuss the Akkadian tradition in Iran, Iraq, and Syria from 4334 BP-4112 BP (2334 BC-2112 BC). Several documents discuss the political institutions of the Akkadian tradition, including the development of the political institutions of the Akkad dynasty, management and administration during the Sargonic period, and the spread of Sargonic influence throughout northern Mesopotamia and Syria. Oates (2001) studies the seals and sealings from Tell Brak for evidence of the administration of Tell Brak. Felli also examines seal use to show that the Akkadian empire was in northern Syria before the time of Narim-Sin. Frayne analyzes a large collection of royal inscriptions pertaining to kings of the Akkadian and Gutian periods. Westenholz (1997) examines the legends told about the feats and deeds of the kings of Akkade. Cooper (1993) also uses literature, but he examines the Akkadian empire as the prototype for future dynasties. Liverani (1993) is critical about the use of literature to reconstruct the Akkadian dynasty. Steinkeller (1993) looks at what preceded the rise of Sargon. Westenholz (1993) examines the world view of government officials and their attitudes towards others in society. Three documents deal with more general topics: Nissen with the changes in settlement patterns and material culture during the Akkadian period, Weiss and Courty (1993) and Weiss et al. (1993) describe how an environmental change brought on the collapse of the Akkadian empire, and Courty discusses the regional blast event and describes how archaeologists can recognize it during their excavations. The rest of the documents discuss the excavations and analyses from field work at Tell Brak in northern Syria.
