LING LTD. THE DORSET PRESS DORCHESTER DORSET FOREWORD The present volume gives a complete catalogue of the large collection of inscribed bricks from Iraq, Iran and Syria in the British Museum, supplemented by significant collections preserved in other museums in Britain. It is hoped that it will not only be of interest to cuneiformists in general but will also become a practical reference book for field archaeologists and for epigraphists working on future excavations. I am sure that all readers will agree that this catalogue fully justifies all the time and effort devoted to its preparation by Mr. C. B. F. Walker and has earned him the gratitude of his peers. E. SOLLBERGER Keeper DEPARTMENT OF WESTERN ASIATIC ANTIQUITIES THE BRITISH MUSEUM OCTOBER, 1980 7 PREFACE 11his catalogue include:3 al: the bJ~icks stum1ied or inscribed with cuneiform inscriptions now in the collections of the Department of Weste:m Asiatic Antiquities, the British Museum. A previous survey of the Department's brick collection was made by Dr. C. Bezold in 1888 (ZA 3, 415), but was never published. Assyrian and Babylonian painted or glazed inscriptions are not included here except for Tukulti-Ninurta I no. 7, A list of Ela.mite glazed brick inscriptions is published in :rrzy urticle, '1.Uamite inscriptions in the British Museum', in Iran ·18 (1980), 75-81. BM 90136 also has an Aramaic inscription, as do the bricks 1821-1-20, 7 and 8, which are not~included here as they have no cuneiform inscrjption. The Department also has a brick from Ur inscribed in a proto-Arabic script {BM 122185 =U 7815, UE IX, '114 and pl. 36). The collections of the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford, and the City of' Birmine;ham Mu:c:eums and ArL Gallery contain muny bricks from tlle Oxford-Field Museum (Chica.go) Expedition, s wor1<: in Babylonia and from British excavations at Nineveh, Kalhu (Nimrud) , and Ur. They are an importa:."'lt supplement to the British Museum's collectior-s. The inscription Ashmolean 1922.198, published by S. Langdon, OEC'l' I, 60 and pl. 29, as taken from a brick is in fact on a stone slab; it is therefore omitted here. Bricks in Oxford are published by courtesy of the Visitors of the Ashmolea.n Muse1im and those in Birmingham 'by courtesy of the Director of the City of' Birminghrun Museums and Art Gallery. The collection of bricks in the City of Bristol Museum and Art Gallery was briefly dcsc.cibed by E.F. Weidner in D·ie ReZiefs der as::;yrische Kon:ige (AfO Beiheft 4, Berlin 1939), 111 n. 216 = AfO 12 (Berlin 193'(-39), 111 n. 216. It has been included in the catalogue by courtesy of the Directors of the City of Bristol Musewn and Art Gallery for the sake of completeness although it adds nothing significant to the other collections. The bricks H 774 (Ur-Narnmu) H 4360 (Nebuchadne7.zar II) and F 3822 ( Gudea?) were temporarily not availa,ble f'or study. For their interest and practical assistance 1 am much indebted to Dr P.R.S. Moorey, Senior Assistant Keeper of Antiquities, and Dr. Stephanie Dalley at Oxford, to J. Ruffle, Keeper of the Department of Antiquities, and Miss Janet Emonson at Birmingham, and to D.P. Dawson~ Curator in Archaeoloe;y and History, at Bristol. Professor E. Heiner of the University of Chica.go and Professor M. Stolper of' .... he Universi-ty of Michigan kindly commented on my first drafts of the new Ela.mite inscriptions published here. C. B. F. Walker. n 9 INTRODUCTION The statenent of provenance is mostly taken from published sourcr:,s. BM bricks with no recorded provenance are assumed to have the Rame provenance as published bricks having a provenance. Recorded provenances of BM bricks are only mentioned in cases where they differ from previously known provenances or where more than one provenance is posGible.
