Murasu Archive
The Murasu Archive is a collection of cuneiform tablets, excavated between 1888 and 1900, from the ruins of Nippur in central Babylonia. Named after the chief member of a single family, the Murasu Archive is a collection of business records that spans four generations. Assembled during the reigns of the Persian kings Artaxerxes I, Darius II, and Artaxerxes II, the Murasu Archive provides the largest and most illuminating view into the business activities and conditions of Persian-ruled Babylonia during the last hundred and fifty years of the Achaemenid kingship.
== Excavation and discovery ==
In a series of excavations directed by John Henry Haynes, the Murasu Archive was discovered six meters under a mound on the floor of a small room. The original collection comprised 330 whole tablets, 400 or more damaged tablets and fragments, and 20 small clay tags with seal impressions.〔Stolper, 1〕 After the original discovery, a portion of the tablets was shipped to Istanbul for analysis, where Hermann Vollrat Hilprecht first identified the texts as records of a late Babylonian business house called “Murasu Sons of Nippur”.〔Stolper, 1〕 Over the years, the Murasu Archive was scattered around the world, to museums and private collections in London, Istanbul, Philadelphia, Jena, and California.
