Archaeologists uncover library of cuneiform tablets in Iraq’s Kurdish region
University of Tübingen archaeologists headed by Professor Peter Pfälzner have made sensational finds in the Kurdistan region of northern Iraq.
The researchers from the Institute for Ancient Near Eastern Studies have found a cuneiform archive of 93 clay tablets dating from 1250 BCE – the period of the Middle Assyrian Empire. What the tablets record remains a mystery for the time being.
The tablets were found at the Bronze Age city site of Bassetki, which was only discovered in 2013 by archaeologists from the Tübingen collaborative research center 1070, Resource Cultures.
