History
A city of southern Mesopotamia attested from the Fara period (Early Dynastic IIIa) through the Old Babylonian period, located on the Tigris river near Nippur, about 60-80km north of Umma. The exact location of the site is unknown to archaeologists, but known to looters, who have stolen and sold thousands of tablets from the site.
