Lagaba is an ancient Sumerian town. It is the place of origin of many illicitly excavated tablets; [1].>. More then 400 tablets are known to have originated there. Some are located at the University of Leiden, others at the Nies Nanylonian Collection at Yale University. Some have been published by G.M. Beckman in the Catalog of the Yale Babylonian Collection. [2] Others have been published from the same collectionn by Ored Tamuz of the Department of Bible and Ancient Near East Studies , Ben Gurion University. Some were published in his Yale Ph.D. thesis,[3]Others, comprising a set of administrative texts and a set of business documents, were published in Revue d'Assyriologie et d'Archeologie Orientale [4]
The precise location of Lagaba is unknown to this day.The only thorough investigation into the location of Lagaba was undertakenby W. F. Lemmans (1960).[5] By reviewing an ancient tablet originating from Lagaba, Tamuz concluded it to be 15km North-north-east of the city of Babylon, on the western bank of the Euphrates River[1]
