This volume contains the revised and expanded papers concerning Mesopotamia given at the conference on New Perspectives on the Chronology of the Early Second Millennium BC in the Near East and Egypt. It includes investigations of the chronology of the Isin, Larsa, and Hana dynasties, as well as papers concerned with the chronology of northern Mesopotamia in the first half of the second millennium BC. New and authoritative studies of the most important sources, including the Venus Tablets of Ammi-saduqa, the Kültepe Eponym Lists, and the Mari Eponym Chronicle, incorporate not only philological and historical insights but also information from astronomy, eclipses, calendrical systems, radiocarbon analyses, dendrochronology, ice-layer dating, and vulcanology. One of the many important conclusions reached is that the most probable chronological scheme is the Lower Middle Chronology with the accession of Hammurabi in 1784 BC.
The volume will be valued by all those interested in the history of Mesopotamia.
