The archaic lexical lists: DCCLT composite texts and exemplars

Not kept here. This copy isn't ours to show. See it where it's published.

Fixed sequences of signs copied by Uruk III scribes and, in the same order, at Fara, Abu Salabikh and Ebla and in Old Babylonian schools 1,300 years later, where they carry Sumerian readings. The Professions list of about 120 titles and the 94-case Tribute list are the two most copied. They are the main bridge between the unread archaic signs and readable Sumerian.
