A fragmentary cuneiform tablet from the Ophel (Jerusalem) : methodological musings about the proposed genre and Sitz im Leben

Abstract: It is here argued that the genre and historical context of the cuneiform tablet from Jerusalem (“Jerusalem 1”) cannot be determined with certitude. There are simply not enough cuneiform signs preserved to facilitate such an assessment. Of course, the mineralogical analyses are useful and d...

description Abstract: It is here argued that the genre and historical context of the cuneiform tablet from Jerusalem (“Jerusalem 1”) cannot be determined with certitude. There are simply not enough cuneiform signs preserved to facilitate such an assessment. Of course, the mineralogical analyses are useful and do demonstrate that the soil used to make the tablet was from the region of Jerusalem, but this fact cannot be construed as demonstrating that the tablet was an international letter. Rather, I believe that this fragmentary tablet could have been (among other things) some sort of literary document, some sort of letter, or some sort of legal document. Not much more than this can be said about its genre.
