Abstract

In three campaigns between 1998 and 2000, J.-C. Margueron excavated poorly preserved architectural units at " Chantier K " near Mari's Grand Palais Royal, which he named the " Maison aux tablettes " because of the 2,000 tablets and fragments collected. The majority of these texts are school tablets : lexical lists, mathematical texts, proverbs and even literary texts. Several lists of Semitic personal names and a few letters and contracts complete the discovery. This presentation will summarize the data obtained from the analysis of these texts.
