This is the first of two volumes of the State Archives of Assyria devoted to the administrative archives. It includes exclusively texts from Nineveh, the great majority of which were published originally by C.H.W. Johns in his Assyrian Deeds and Documents. This volume contains texts deriving from the internal administration of the palaces on Kuyunjik, as well as a large group concerned with temple offerings. Few of the texts have been edited before, and the following introductory comments may be useful in giving a broad conspectus of their nature.
