Synopsis

The spread of cuneiform writing from its Mesopotamian heartland to the peripheries during the second half of the third, and especially in the second mill. BC, represents an important historical and cultural phenomenon; cuneiform writing became the privileged means through which the administrations of these "peripheral" centers recorded economic transactions. These documents (taxes, rations, sales, etc) shed a fascinating light on the economic system in these regions.

The 19 essays collected here elucidate the emergence, transmission, and interaction of economic structures and management of resources in time and space. Through a diachronic study, the volume identifies similarities, differences, and adaptations in the economic management of resources and taxation in the Ancient Near East (third - second millennium BC).
