The list of more than 2,000 year names which is made accessible here has been compiled as a tool for the dating of cuneiform tablets as well as for supporting historical studies on early bookkeeping techniques. This tool essentially consists of a collection of date formulae in administrative documents as they were used by the scribes in ancient Mesopotamia, and of computer generated indices for a quick identification of incomplete date formulae on damaged cuneiform tablets and of issues and events mentioned in these formulae. According to the pupose of this compilation the data formulae as they are presented here do not quote specific texts but are often composite formulae based on several sources. Furthermore it was impossible to give always the numerous variants of some of the year names.

Star Catalogue
This catalogue is derived from BPO2. The Sumerian transliteration is in all-caps, and then the Akkadian is in italics. The English translation of the name is in quotes, followed by the modern star or constellation to which it refers. I have not included alternate spellings for any of the constellation names, as this would lead to a maze of circular definitions. Also, this catalogue is alphabetized by the Sumerian. In the event that the Sumerian name is not known, the constellation is still included and alphabetized by its Akkadian name, but only in this event.British Museum - Page 1 - Мозилин фајерфокс (Mozilla Firefox)

Famous as the birthplace of Abraham and the site of the best preserved ziggurat in the Middle East, Ur in the past 20 years has been damaged by war and conflict and today is under threat from neglect, exposure and inappropriate restoration. Today the most visible remains of the ancient city are the ziggurat, a palace, a Royal Cemetery and several temples and houses. The goals of the GHF project – in partnership with the Iraq Ministry of Culture, State Board of Antiquities and Heritage (SBAH) and the Dhiqar Antiquities Office – are initially to survey and document the site and its remains, produce a new topographic map, define the site boundaries and produce a Master Conservation Plan for the site in preparation for conservation of the most seriously endangered structures.
