A rectangular clay tablet inscribed with 221 lines of Sumerian cuneiform for a monthly list of activities involving copper; accompanied by a copy of a signed scholarly note by the late W.G. Lambert, Professor of Assyriology at the University of Birmingham, 1970-1993, which states: 'Clay Tablet 170 x 171 mm, inscribed with a total of 221 lines of Sumerian Cuneiform in 10 columns five on each side. The upper right-hand comer is missing, and the lower right-hand portion is composed of two pieces rejoined with some loss of surface at the joints. However, the greater part of the tablet remains, and is well preserved, being written in a clear scribal hand. This is an administrative document from the town of Umma, in the far south of Sumer, being dated to the 7th year of Shu - Sin, fourth king of the Third Dynasty of Ur, e. 2031 B.C. It is a monthly list of activities involving copper, being dated to the 20 month of the year (April/ May by our calendar). At this time Sumer was bureaucratically run by the central government, and the government dominated many aspects of the economy. Thus metalworking, which depended on imports of ore, was centrally run. The craftsmen were provided with the materials, and they produced the tools and weapons needed for the workers army. But everything had to be recorded in writing, and this document lists the large number of individual small tablets written during this month recording so many of this or that tool of copper, and the name of the responsible person written on the tablet. It is not stated whether these documents record the receipt of finished tools from the craftsmen who made them, or the issue of tools to craftsmen who needed them for daily use. In the ancient world this was too well known to be recorded. Obviously both kinds of documents must have existed, so until there is much more known it is best to leave this matter open. The tablet attests to the vast amount of organised activity in Sumer at this time.

First, the numerical system used allows the simple numerals such as 1, 2 etc to be either 1, 2 or 60, 120 and I in the lack of any summing up of figures of this type, there is often uncertainty, and our choice of 1 or 60 is always open to reconsideration. Secondly, the professions of the men named as on the documents suggest recipients of tools rather than makers of them in most cases, but not in the case of the smiths. These two points illustrate the amount of work and study needed to gain all the information contained in this text. It is a mine of information, but in need of deep research.'

A clay tablet containing a forty-one line extract from a Royal hymn, which claims to be written by Enḫedu'anna, a daughter of the great king Sargon of Akkad; accompanied by a copy of a typed and signed scholarly note by the late W.G. Lambert, Professor of Assyriology at the University of Birmingham, 1970-1993, which states: 'Clay Tablet, 102 x 55 mm., with Section of Sumerian Royal Hymn. This tablet is joined from two pieces with a little loss of text at the break and also due to other damage. However, of the 41 lines of cuneiform script which it contains, the majority are complete and legible. The tablet has a 40-line extract from a hymn which claims to be written by Enḫedu'anna, a daughter of the great king Sargon of Akkad (c. 2235-2279 B.C.). The total composition consists of 153 lines, and this tablet gives lines 40-79. This tablet is Old Babylonian, c. 1900-1700 B,C., and after the extract has a single line giving a date, but only the day of the month remains. Enḫedu'anna is claimed as author of quite a few Sumerian texts which survive, and though it is always possible that she employed professional scribes to compose the texts, the very personal matter in some of them does give the impression that they do in fact reflect her thoughts. This hymn is usually known today, as it was in the ancient world by the first phrase, Nin-me-sharra, 'Lady of all the cosmic regulations.' It is in fact is (sic) praise of the goddess Inanna. Enḫedu'anna was appointed by her father to be high priestess of Nanna, moon-god of Ur, and she held that post for a long time, until the reign of her nephew Narām-Sîn, but in a rebellion against Narām-Sîn Ur was led by a man Lugal-anne, and according to this hymn he deposed Enḫedu'anna from her office, which is not surprising. Translation [Lady] who makes glad the [reins], lady [who makes rejoice] the heart, Whose anger is not appeased, the daughter of [Sîn,] the great one, Lady who excels over the land, who has [refused] you worship? In the mountain where you worship is withheld, grain is taboo, Its (the mountain's) great gate you have turned to ashes. Its rivers bear blood for you: its people have nothing to drink. It leads to you its army captive, Its troops break up for you of their own accord. Its strong young men [go before you] of their own accord. A storm has taken over[the city's] dancing, The men and domestic animals are driven before you as captives. Over the city of which it was not said, 'The land is yours,' Of which it was not spoken, 'It belongs to the father who begat you,' You have uttered your holy command, [have turned it back from your way], [Have caused] your foot [to be removed] from its animal pens. Its women [do not speak] pleasantly with their husbands, By night they do not confer [in love], [They do not reveal] the holy things of their bodies. Aggressive wild cow, [daughter of Sîn the great one], Lady superior to An, [who has refused your worship?] One of the right cosmic regulations, great lady [of ladies,] Who came forth from the holy womb, [superior to] the mother[who bore you], Extremely wise one, lady of the lands, Life of the abundant peoples, let me [chant] your holy song! Faithful deity, fitted for the cosmic regulations, It is magnificent to speak of you with power! Merciful, truly pure of heart, let me speak of your cosmic regulations. I enter my holy sanctum, I, high priestess, I Enḫedu'anna, I carry the basket, I sing the hymn, But now [I am put] in the retreat and have to live thus. The light is extinguished, the day is darkened, Shadows come near, the storm covers (everything). My honeyed mouth speaks confusion, My pleasant disposition has turned to dust. Sîn, what is this Lugal-anne to me? Speak to An that An may release me, You must [say] to An, 'Now!' [that An may release me.] [This woman will despoil the manhood of Lugal]-anne. [Mountain and flood lie at her] feet. [That woman is] exalted, [she will make the city abandon him.] [Month ....], 18th day, [year .....] This is an important new addition to the textual history of this fascinating personal hymn said to have been written by the king's own daughter.'
