Extract

The inscribed clay tablets found by Mr. Mallowan at Tall Chagar Bazar in the season 1936 were scarcely expected, and therefore the more welcome. They were, indeed, both few and small, but happily they proved to be only an earnest of a larger discovery in the subsequent year. The study of these latter tablets will no doubt amplify and correct the few observations which can be made here upon the dozen of specimens at present available.

These belong to two quite different periods, as shown not only by their own characters, but by the circumstances of their finding, described by Mr. Mallowan above. The earlier period is here represented by one complete piece and a fragment.
