Created by: Englund, Robert K.
Proto-cuneiform breweries management account (Uruk III period, ca. 3200-3000 BC; owner: Schøyen Collection, Norway)
The Uruk III period (ca. 3200-3000 BC) account from the former Swiss Erlenmeyer collection, auctioned at Christie’s London in December 1988 for £22,000, records only one entry with a numerical notation representing the largest amount of barley of all archaic texts in the Erlenmeyer collection; extra information is given with the entry, in particular the time notation “37 months,” the largest known month notation in the entire archaic text corpus.
