# Age, Gender and Labor: Recording Human Resources in 3350–2500 BC Mesopotamia

Vitali Bartash, 2018.

**Proto-cuneiform: the archaic texts of Uruk** Chapter0

## What it's used for here

Chapter in AOAT 440 (Labor in the Ancient World). Argues that the earliest administrators classified people by age and gender groups rather than by labour units, and surveys the archaic human-resource accounts from Uruk to the Early Dynastic period. Context for the accounts in which the archaic personal names appear.
