Old Babylonian Lexical Texts

The great majority of Old Babylonian lexical texts comes from Nippur in central Babylonia, where thousands of such texts have been found. Smaller groups have been excavated in many places, from Uruk in the south to Ṭabatum in the North and from Terqa in the west to Susa in the east.

Each of the placemarkers on the map below represents a site where lexical tablets have been found; clicking on a marker will take you to more information about the lexical texts of that site.
