In 1987 and 1988 the British Archaeological Expedition to Iraq conducted two further seasons of excavations at Tell al-Hawa in the north Jezirah. The inscribed objects recovered during these excavations were an Old Babylonian tablet, an inscribed Neo-Assyrian potsherd, fragments of inscribed cones of Shalmaneser III, and a piece of stamped brick. They are published here as texts nos. 1–4. No. 1. IM 113547 (HW 236). Fig. 1 No. 1 is the very damaged top half of an Old Babylonian administrative tablet picked up in 1988 in a canal cutting away from the main mound, in the “Lower Town Area” (mound D, area ND 11; dimensions 46 × 41 × 21 mm). The fragmentary text lists amounts of, probably, grain in volume measure (homer and seah), but for what purpose the goods were being issued or, more likely, received it is not possible to determine. The real interest of the piece lies in the mention, in the last lines of the reverse, of the toponyms Hadnum and Shuruzi. Hadnum is perhaps the same as Hadna, which is known as a north Mesopotamian locality of the Old Babylonian period from the archives of Mari ( ARM II 50, 5: ma-a-at ḫa-ad-na ki ) and Tell al-Rimah ( OBT Tell Rimah 202, 4: ḫa-ad-na ki ), though nothing can be said about its exact location. Shuruzi also appears in a letter from Mari, as Shuruzim (Bottero, Habiru = CRRAI 4, p. 19, no. 20, 59: su-ru-zi-im ki ). This is generally accepted to be the same place as Shurushim, known from another letter from Mari ( ARM II 135, 18: su-ru-si-im ki ) to have been located on the eastern route from Shubat-Enlil to Eshnunna—so presumably somewhere between Tell Leilan and the Tigris. Although this road would almost certainly have passed Tell al-Hawa, there can be no suggestion on the available evidence that Tell al-Hawa was called Shuruzi(m)—or, for that matter, Hadnum—in the early second millennium, but the presence in this document of the two toponyms does at least confirm the site as being in the orbit of the known centres.
