The Exercise Tablets from Chantier B in Susa Revisited

A re-examination of thirty-three exercise tablets from Susa, Chantier B, reveals their significance as discarded scribal training materials spanning 450 years. These tablets, excavated in 1966-67 and previously published only in transcription, provide new insights into the formation of scribes during this period, particularly highlighting the use of the Silbenalphabet A script. The revised publication includes photographs and refined dating, offering a more comprehensive understanding of ancient scribal education practices.
