Talk by Seton Lloyd, O.B.E., F.S.A ., Director of the British Institute of Archaeology, Ankara
The speaker describes the excavations in Mesopotamia which have revealed remains of the ancient city-state of Eshnunna and which give a detailed picture of Babylonian life in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries B.C. He speaks in particular about the law tablets found in the miniature city at Tell Harmal, and of their provisions for regulating civil life in Eshnunna.
