The city and the palace at archaic UrWalther Sallaberger, Ludwig-Maximilian-Universität MünchenAbstractThis paper takes up the issue of the archaic texts of Ur (cca. 3000 – 2700B.C.). Throughout the whole group, the same features are displayed bytheir orthography, metrology, prosopography and terminology in spite oftheir divergent findspots, showing thus the fact that they must have comeinto being throughout a relatively short period of time. The texts showthat the administration of this Sumerian city included a) the king in itsinner quarter, responsible for political decisions for state, palaceeconomy and palace goods; b) the royal quarter, AB, which managed thecity state, especially its agricultural products and cared for the upkeep ofpeople attached to it (bread and beer texts), and c) the city of Ur andsmaller hinterland settlements of the city state under their respectiveensi 2 's, managed by the royal quarter with recourse to the agriculturalenterprise, but autonomous as political entities.Keywords: History of ancient Mesopotamia, Early Dynastic period,Sumer, Ur, cuneiform texts, king, city.In studies of the ancient history of Mesopotamia, we usuallyconcentrate our attention on the figure of the ruler, in accordancewith his prominence in the sources. Ancient rulers were, of course,depicted in works of art but, frankly speaking, the knowledge ofpolitical history is denied to us. This is so because most of our textsbelong to the sphere of administration, not of politics.Things being as they are, we may seek a certain guiding principle inthe sovereigns’ titles and his residence, the 'palace'. For the mostancient period, these may be subsumed as follows:Uruk IV (late fourth millennium) – en;Uruk III (beginning of third millennium)– en, residing in theAB (= èš), cf. the palace excavated at Jemdet Nasr;Fara/ED IIIa (cca. 26 th century B.C.) – énsi(-GAR), lugal, é-gal.Fara seems to have constituted a member of a confederacy underthe sway of the king of Kiš, a lugal who disposed of his own é-gal.31
