520    This book describes ten different government archives of 
       cuneiform tablets from Assyria, using them to analyse the 
       social and economic character of the Middle Assyrian state,
       as well as the roles and practices of writing. The tablets,
       many of which have not been edited or translated, were 
       excavated at the capital, Assur, and in the provinces, and
       they give vivid details to illuminate issues such as 
       offerings to the national shrine, the economy and 
       political role of elite households, palace etiquette, and 
       state-run agriculture. This book concentrates particularly
       on how the Assyrian use of written documentation affected 
       the nature and ethos of government, and compares this to 
       contemporary practices in other palatial administrations 
       at Nuzi, Alalah, Ugarit, and in Greece.
