This volume contains a complete edition of sixteen Neo-Sumerian barley allotment rolls from the Umma region, twelve of which are currently kept in the Iraq National Museum, while the other four tablets remain in private hands. The work includes a study of the lists of workers and the different professions and occupations of the personnel, and establishes the possible context of the tablets. An analysis of the rich onomastic material recorded in the texts is also provided, as well as a prosopographical evaluation of each individual.
