Presented by GoviB: Talk by Kristin Kleber "Das Ingallea-Archiv. Einblicke in die laufende Editionsarbeit des GoviB-Projektes" at the Friedrich-Schiller-University Jena, 24.4.2024.

Abstract (in German):

Das laufende Forschungsprojekt "Governance in Babylon" (GoviB) ediert die neubabylonischen Archive, welche die Deutsche Orient-Gesellschaft unter der Leitung von Robert Koldewey in den Jahren 1899-1917 in Babylon ausgegraben hat. Der Vortrag gibt einen Einblick in das sogenannte "Barbiersarchiv" (N11), das in die frühneubabylonische Zeit datiert. Die Arbeit ist noch "work in progress", zur Sprache kommen u.a. die Rekonstruktion des Familienstammbaums, die Frage nach der Austauschbarkeit von Familiennamen und einige interessante Einzeltexte.
