Nimrud Letters

The Nimrud Letters are an archive of 244 Neo-Assyrian and Neo-Babylonian cuneiform letters found at Nimrud in 1952 during the excavations led by Max Mallowan of the British School of Archaeology.[1] The letters were published by H. W. F. Saggs.[2]

The majority of the tablets were found in Room ZT 4, where ZT stands for Z[iggurat]T[errace].[2]

105 tablets (99 Neo-Assyrian and 6 Neo-Babylonian) were first published between 1955 and 1974 in the journal Iraq (vols. 17–36), and the remaining 139 were published in 2001 in Saggs' book The Nimrud Letters, 1952.[2]
