Description: Composite text of “Archaic Vessels” / Composite copy of the lexical list "Vessels". Figure 29, p.97 of Englund, Robert K. (1998). Texts from the Late Uruk Period. In Bauer, Josef; Englund, Robert K.; and Krebernik, Manfred (1998). Mesopotamien: Späturuk-Zeit und Frühdynastische Zeit. Orbis Biblicus et Orientalis 160/1; Annäherungen, 1. Freiburg, Switzerland: Academic Press Freiburg. ISBN 3727811668 / ISBN 978-3727811661. Footnote 212: "See ATU 3, 29–32, 123–134, and the ED IIIa witnesses SF 64 and OIP 99, nos. 4, 7–9. This is the only canonized list of the Uruk III period found in a witness outside of Uruk. The Jemdet Nasr tablet MSVO 1, 242, contains the first 65 entries of the list and proves that the lexical tradition reached into northern Babylonia."
