“…Preserved on the earliest Arad-Gula tablet identified as coming from Section V A' (Clay 1908: no. 55, see above) was the rest of a sealing, belonging to the native Babylonian style of seals according to Zettler (1979). This dossier will be the focus of the rest of the paper.…”

It is generally assumed that the takeover of Babylonia by the Persian king Cyrus II in 539 BC went relatively smoothly. The current study suggests that at Nippur there might have been hitherto overlooked changes among the higher-ranking officials during the transition of 539 BC. A collection of Neo-Babylonian tablets from the ‘Tablet Hill’ at Nippur is analyzed and its original trench of excavation is pinpointed on the map of the site. Focusing on several dossiers of tablets at ‘Tablet Hill’ from the time of transition around 539 BC it can be shown that further insights can be gained from the unpublished archaeological documentation.

“…Secondly, even if one is to view these 6 cylinder seals as evidence of the pro-Assyrian stance of the elites of Hasanlu, it would be important to note that cylinder seals can continue in use long after dramatic shifts in political affiliation and control. The continued use of Neo-Babylonian stamp seals by eariy Achaemenid rulers in Babylonia is an obvious example of this phenomenon (Zettler 1979).…”

The destruction of Hasanlu IVb at or near 800 BC has remained a fixpoint for Iranian and near eastern archaeology for nearly half a century. In this paper the methodological basis for this interpretation are analyzed. Moving from this, a cotnplete stratigraphical and statistical re-analysis of the carbon-14 data from Hasanlu IVB is presented. When combined, these avenues of analysis show that a destruction date in the eighth century BC is not only not negated by the evidence, but jibes with long-held stylistic analysis of some of the Hasanlu IVb artifacts.
