Why is it important?
It emphasizes that there is no evidence concerning a construction phase datable to Kadashman-Turgu as stated earlier. The only inscribed evidence from the Ekur (Temple of Enlil) proper is a lapis bead found in a Post-Kassite layer.
Perspectives
This article partly supersedes an earlier publication of mine concerning the Kassite Ekur. It was also a great opportunity to share some insights from my object studies of the early excavations at Nippur.
