In a few decades, between the XXIst and the XIXth century, the appearance of Mesopotamia deeply changed because of the immigration on a massive scale of amorite populations which settled down and flooded upon the cities left unoccupied at the end of the previous century. The phenomenon particularly struck the Upper Mesopotamia in which there is a small area made singular owing to its topography : the plains south of the Jebel-Sinjar. This area has revealed only a few archaeological vestiges but the written documentation which was found in several sites inside or outside South-Sinjar (especially in Tell Hariri, Tell Leilan and Tell al-Rimah) brought many pieces of information about its geography, its inhabitants and their way of life, but also, and most importantly, about the political events which occurred there between the XIXth and the XVIIth century before our era. The issue of this thesis is to date, to order and to analyze these pieces of information in a double perspective. On one hand, it is about rebuilding the old environment and the historical geography of this area, aiming especially the location of the cities mentioned in these texts. Secondly, its political history will be studied, first of all throughout the description of the political and human groups which appeared there, kingdoms and tribal groups, and secondly through the analysis of the relationships between these entities. Finally, we will consider the issues represented in the area which explain the political decisions made by those kingdoms as well as the foreign interventions in the region.; En quelques décennies, entre le XXIe et le XIXe siècle, le visage de la Mésopotamie fut profondément bouleversé par l'immigration massive de populations amorrites qui se sédentarisèrent et investirent les centres urbains laissés vacants au tournant du millénaire précédent. Le phénomène toucha particulièrement la Haute‑Mésopotamie dans laquelle s'insère un petit ensemble rendu singulier par sa topographie : le sud du Djebel Sindjar.Si cette région n'a encore livré que peu de vestiges archéologiques, la documentation écrite exhumée sur plusieurs sites dans ou à l'extérieur du Sud-Sindjar (Tell Hariri, Tell Leilan et Tell al‑Rimah principalement), apporte de nombreuses informations sur sa géographie, sur ses habitants et leur mode de vie mais également et surtout sur les événements politiques qui la touchèrent entre le XIXe et le XVIIe siècle avant notre ère. C'est l'enjeu de cette thèse que de dater, d'ordonner et d'analyser ces informations dans une optique qui se veut double. Dans un premier temps, il s'agit de reconstituer le paléo-environnement et la géographie historique de cette région, avec comme l'un des principaux points de mire la localisation des villes évoquées dans ces textes. L'autre approche tient à la découverte de son histoire politique en premier lieu par la description des ensembles politiques et humains qui s'y constituèrent, royaumes et groupes tribaux, mais également par l'analyse des rapports que ces entités entretinrent entre elles. Enfin, il s'agit de considérer les enjeux que la région revêt et qui expliquent autant les choix politiques de ces royaumes que les interventions étrangères dans la région.

International audience; Few mathematical texts refer explicitly to military-related tasks. A notable exception is a small group of tablets from Old Babylonian period, which probably from Sippar or its region. Calculating the slope of a ramp of a fortress, assessing the work required for digging ditches and building walls, expanding the walls of a circular city, such are for example the problems addressed in these tablets. Were these mathematical problems designed to solve real technical problems, or, conversely, was the construction of walls a source of inspiration for the mathematical imagination of scholars little involved, actually, in the realisation of this work? What was the relationship between academic circles and milieus which were in charge of the implementation of major military work? This paper aims to provide some answers to these questions by examining a range of issues drawn from this group of mathematical tablets. Particular attention is paid to details such as the types of tablets where texts are written, errors that can be detected, the indications on the orders of magnitude - or lack of them - and the presence and content of colophons.; Peu de textes mathématiques font référence explicitement à des tâches de nature militaire. Une exception remarquable est constituée par un petit groupe de tablettes d'époque paléo-babylonienne provenant probablement de la région de Sippar. Calculer la pente d'une rampe d'accès à une forteresse, évaluer le travail nécessaire au creusement de douves et à la construction de murailles, agrandir l'enceinte d'une ville circulaire, tels sont par exemple les problèmes traités dans ces tablettes. Ces problèmes mathématiques étaient-ils destinés à résoudre de réels problèmes techniques, ou bien, à l'inverse, la construction des remparts n'était-elle qu'une source d'inspiration pour l'imagination mathématique d'érudits peu impliqués, en réalité, dans la réalisation de ces travaux ? L'analyse de ces problèmes peut-elle donner des indications sur les connaissances mathématiques requises pour mener à bien les travaux de construction des ouvrages de défense ? Quelles étaient les relations entre les milieux savants et les milieux qui étaient en charge de la mise en oeuvre de grands travaux militaires ? Cette contribution a pour but d'apporter quelques éléments de réponse à ces questions en examinant un choix de problèmes puisé dans ce groupe de tablettes mathématiques. Une attention particulière est accordée à des détails tels que la typologie des tablettes où sont inscrits les textes, les erreurs qu'on peut y détecter, les indications sur les ordres de grandeur – ou leur absence –, ainsi que la présence de colophons et leur contenu.

The Old-Babylonian text here published is a long list of personal names preceded forthe most part by a Winkelhaken, whereas the last two personal names in the verso are preceded by the numbers 15 and 14. In comparison with some similar texts already publlished, in which there is a series of numbers followed by personal names, one should presume that the text here published is also a list of people who supplied one or more labourers, most probably some common «éren». Moreover one should suppose that the «1 bán ninda» followed by personal names in some lines of the text could mean «prebend»; in fact when one had a prebend in a temple, he was entitled to receive the «bread» of the sacrifice afterwards. Therefore, people mentioned in the text probably belong to the perssonnel of a temple which provides some labourers, probably to the same temple, and/or receives food assignments from the temple. Although the text is not dated, some elements allow us to suppose that it has been written short after the time of Hammurabi. With regard to the provenience of the text, one could suppose that it comes from the South of Babylon, probably from Larsa. El texto babilónico publicado aquí es una larga lista onomástica precedida, en su mayor parte, por un Winkelhaken, mientras que los dos nombres de persona en el verso apareccen precedidos por los números 15 y 14. Una comparación con algunos textos similares ya publicados, donde aparecen series de números seguidas por nombres de persona, nos permite presumir que este es también una lista de gente que suministró uno o más trabajadores, con toda probabilidad «éren» comunes. Además, hay que suponer que el «1 bán ninda» seguido de nombres de persona en algunas líneas del texto podría significar «prebenda»; de hecho, el poseer una prebenda en el templo, le daba a uno derecho a recibir el «pan» del sacrificio. Por tanto, los individuos mencionados pertenecen probablemente al personal del templo que abastecía (probablemente a éste) de trabajadores, y/o bien recibía asignaciones alimenticias del templo. Aunque el texto no está fechado,algunos elementos nos permiten suponer que habría sido escrito poco después de época de Hammurabi. Hay que suponer que el texto procede de la parte meridional de Babilonia, probablemente de Larsa.

69. Palmyra, Pastoral Nomads, and City-State Kings in the Old Babylonian Period : Interaction in the Semi-Arid Syrian Landscape
- Author

Hesse, Kristina J. and Hesse, Kristina J.
- Abstract
This article rests on results of the Palmyrena project and its landscape surveys, and of some initial studies of a recently initiated project concerning the activities and economics of pastoral nomads, within the Syro-Mesopotamian Bronze Age landscape, and how such activities promoted interaction and symbiosis with the surrounding urban societies. In this paper I am focusing on pastoral nomadic economies of trade mediation and caravan escort. Similar to the separation and unification of cultures affected by the proximity of the Mediterranean Sea, the Syro-Mesopotamian semi arid desert functioned likewise between those societies existing along its edges. Crossing difficult terrains of seas and deserts required some form of professional assistance. While the desert's harsh environment posed a threat to passing caravans, pastoral nomads overall acclimatization to its environment, and their knowledge of routes and water sources, easily supported the business of escorting caravans through the desert's hazardous landscape. The investigation shows that the settled population of the oasis Palmyra and the surrounding nomadic goups played an important role in the maintenance of the caravan routes through Palmyrena in the Bronze Age. Besides landscape surveys the paper draws upon ancient documents describing the interaction between pastoral nomads and urban societies. Additionally it is supported by comparative anthropological studies., Palmyrena: City, Hinterland and Caravan Trade between Orient and Occident, Economic Integration between Pastoral Nomads and City-States in the Bronze Age Syro-Mesopotamian Landscape: A Network Perspective

International audience; A new reading of an Old Babylonian seal from Tell Rimah (ancient Qaṭṭarā) shows that Ilī-Samas was a servant of Pithana. The latter was certainly the Anatolian king of Kuššara, who had taken the city of Kaniš (Kültepe) and is one of the founders of the Hittite empire. The fact that one tablet sealed by Ilī-Samas (OBTR 317) is dated by the eponym Uṣur-ša-Aššur (KEL G 131) allows us to determine that Pithana was contemporaneous with the years 22/23 of Samsuiluna (1728/1727 B.C. in the “higher Middle Chronology”). We now have a new synchronism between the Anatolian and the Babylonian chronology that makes it possible to see this obscure period in a new light.; Une nouvelle lecture d’un sceau paléo-babylonien de Tell Rimah (l’ancienne Qaṭṭarā) permet de déterminer qu’Ilī-Samas était un serviteur de Pithana. Il s’agit certainement du roi anatolien de Kuššara, qui s’est emparé de Kaniš (Kültepe) et qui est une des figures fondatrices de l’Empire hittite. Le fait qu’une tablette scellée par Ilī-Samas (OBTR 317) soit datée par l’éponyme Uṣur-ša-Aššur (KEL G 131) permet de constater que Pithana est contemporain des années 22/23 de Samsu-iluna (soit 1728/1727 av. J.-C. selon la « chronologie moyenne haute »). Nous avons désormais un nouveau synchronisme entre la chronologie anatolienne et la chronologie babylonienne qui nous permet d’éclairer d’un jour nouveau cette période jusqu’ici obscure.

Old Babylonian period ,Amorites ,Ancient Near East ,Assyriology - Abstract
The Amorites are known throughout the history of the Ancient Near East: they occur in texts from the Ur III empire (2100–2000 bc), but also in the Bible. In the Old Babylonian period (2000–1600 bc), several dynasties of Amorite kings ruled all over the Middle East. They came to power in the early Old Babylonian period (ca. 2000–1800 bc).This thesis explores several aspects of these Early Old Babylonian Amorites. A philological and bibliographical chapter shows the state of research up until now. The role that ‘Amorites’ had in texts from the period is explored, as well as the matter of Amorite ethnicity and their distribution among the local population.The main part of this thesis is in the last chapters where the role of the Amorites and Amorite rulers in the early Old Babylonian period is reappraised

The Old-Babylonian text “A man and his god” has enjoyed a wide reputation for its many parallels with the biblical story of Job, and has been the subject of accurate philological analysis. This composition describes the suffering and pain of desperate man calls his God for healing. The aim of this work is to show how you can apply to the Mesopotamian literary texts dealing with the issue of suffering, pain and discomfort-disgrace, the theoretical and methodological tools of medical anthropology. An anthropological approach to the problem of illness in Mesopotamia can understand, in a deeper sense, the symbolic, socio-cultural and political complexity. The essay provides much food for thought on the concept of sickness and the body in the Old-Babylonian Mesopotamia. The affliction of the protagonist is both physical and mental. The words of the poem does not refer only and exclusively to the sphere of physical suffering. The verbs are used in their more general semantic value, showing a man debilitated, helplessly, the victim of an imbalance, which upsets not only the physical and psychological well-being, but also social relations. The pains are part of a broad category which is that of misfortune. Therefore, there is a clear distinction between the evils that affect physically and emotionally man and the events of the most varied nature, which affects his difficult life. The ignorance of the divine will seems to be the human condition. The miserable situation of the sufferer is determined by an inscrutable divine decision.

Realeza ,ME ,Legal sensibility ,Sensibilidad jurídica ,Diversidad cultural ,Old Babylonian period ,Paleobabilónico - Abstract
En este trabajo analizaré el fenómeno que C. Geertz ha denominado sensibilidad jurídica, en el contexto de la Mesopotamia paleobabilónica (ca. 2000-1600 a.C). Entiendo que la sensibilidad jurídica se asienta en evaluaciones sociales sobreentendidas, más allá de las diferencias de aprehensión entre el sector templario-palatino y la población dedicada a las tareas productivas. El concepto ME, principio de orden, constatación de que existen reglas que simultáneamente son y deben ser obedecidas puede ser pensada como una de estas evaluaciones. La realeza tiene su ME y en el momento en que es, debe ejercer la justicia. Esta idea profunda temporalmente y extendida espacialmente, se pone en acto de maneras diversas a lo lardo del tiempo. Se analiza aquí la forma en se manifiesta durante el período paleobabilónico, en el que el elemento amorreo cobra mayor significación. In this work I will analyze the phenomenon that C. Geertz has called legal sensibility in Mesopotamia during Old Babylonian Period. I believe that legal sensibility is based on social common evaluations, beyond the differences of apprehension between the templar-palatine sector and the population dedicated to the productive tasks. One of these social common evaluations is the concept ME, force of order, that establishes that there exist rules that, simultaneously, are and must be obeyed. The royalty has its own ME, and in the very moment it exists, it must exercice justice. This idea, temporarily deep and spatially extended, is acted in different fashion throughout time. I will analyze the ways it developes during Old Babylonian Period, when the amorrite element becomes very important. Fil: Ravenna, Eleonora. Universidad Nacional de Rosario.

International audience; Suhûm is the region of the Middle Euphrates which was situated between Mari and Hît (nowadays in Iraq). The archives from Mari, dating back to the 19th and 18th centuries B.C., inform us in a very detailed way about the struggles that were going on in an attempt to control the region. As far as we know, after a period of relative autonomy, the region passed under the alternating control of three regional powers: Ešnunna, Babylon and Mari. The texts mainly inform us about the invasions from Ešnunna when Suhûm was placed under the control of Mari. Nevertheless, the region, in particular the city of Hît and its bitumen springs, was also important to Babylon for economic reasons. Besides, the final destruction of Mari in 1759 B.C. might have been motivated by the will to have the region controlled exclusively by Babylon: the king Hammurabi might have wanted to destroy a kingdom that was threatening the Babylonian interests in the region forever.

En un análisis de fuentes del período de dominación babilónica en la Mesopotamia (siglo XVIII a.c.) se manifiestan importantes diversidades culturales. Hemos trabajado sobre los documentos hallados en Tell Sifr (Kutalla), una ciudad pequeña ubicada a 14 km de Larsa. Aparecen en ellos compraventas y otros actos jurídicos concernientes a Silli Estar, muy probablemente un mercader, que además lucra con la adquisición de casas en ruinas que repara y luego alquila. A la luz de este archivo privado pueden conocerse detalles de la vida privada de Larsa, sus costumbres jurídicas y algunos aspectos de la vida cotidiana; los cambios y continuidades bajo la dominación de Hamurabi y Snmsuiluna. El artículo plantea que es posible encontrar bajo la dominación de Babilonia la persistencia de identidades locales en ciudades y regiones de fuertes tradiciones culturales propias, como Larsa. An analysis of the Old Babylonian period sources (specially XVIII b.C) reveals important cultural diversities. We have worked on documents found at Tell Srif (Kutalla), a small town located 14 km. from Larsa. We have dealt with some documents that show the purchases and other judicial acts of Silli Estar, probabily a merchant, who also profits from the houses in ruins that he buys and then he repairs and rents. Due to this private archive we can learn details of the private life in Larsa. Also its juridical practices and some aspects of daily life. The changes and continuities under Hammurabi and Samsuiluna's domination. The paper states that is possible to find under Babylonian domination the continuity of local indetities in towns and regions with strong cultural traditions like Larsa. Fil: Díaz Molano, Luis.

- Abstract
Studies on the Old Babylonian period (ca. 2000--1595 B.C.) have traditionally focused on the political and economic history of the state as well as on royal deeds and policies. This dissertation examines the historiographic theories underlying the writing of Old Babylonian history and offers an alternative approach shifting the emphasis from the state to community institutions of authority. The analysis of the activities of local powers such as the rabianum (the chief of the city), the elders, the city, and the assembly beyond their competence in legal issues casts new light on their role in the functioning of Old Babylonian society. This is so because aside from judicial matters local powers actively participated in economic affairs involving both the state and community members. In this sense, local authorities were the hinge that articulated state and society. I study each of the institutions separately, establishing their role and jurisdiction, and I further consider their interaction as well as their dealings with royal representatives. Such an approach reveals mechanisms of collaboration between the state and local powers, but it also reflects certain disputes concerning the control of local resources. Although tensions become more apparent in periods of political turmoil, they are also traceable in times of stability. Even Hammurabi's overzealous administrators resorted to the mediation of local authorities, who did not hesitate to bypass the royal authority when the opportunity arose. The picture that emerges from this analysis reflects a complex network of traditional social and political relations embedded in the fabric of Old Babylonian cities, which not even the most centralized and efficient policies were able to suppress.
