Isin Year Names

Dr. Marcel Sigrist of the Ecole Biblique Française in Jerusalem analyzes the year names of the Isin Dynasty of Mesopotamia in the early second-millennium BC. Year names, the method of chronological record keeping in ancient Mesopotamia, are crucial to piece together Mesopotamian history. Dr. Sigrist lists the year names chronologically by king through the Isin Dynasty with text references listed.
