Time Sequencing

Roster Date Author Record
Notes on time sequencing 2024-06-27 mKB Middle Akkadian because the arm positions of the hero and the bullman are typical for Akkadian II. The seal impressions we have excavated of Tar'am-Agade and Ewrim-atal both have the nude hero and the bullman in this body position. The hero wearing a short skirt continues into Akkadian III. This example is unusual because his hat appears to be the pointed kind (also found in A7.101) worn by soldiers on the Ur Standard, and by soldiers on Akkadian monumental reliefs.
