Sealed account of agricultural labor
Like FSU 23, this tablet records an agricultural labor team’s maintenance work on fields in which crops are growing. It calculates the theoretical labor expended on the basis of standardized work rates, distinguishing between regular team members (erin2) and hired labor (lu2 huĝ-ĝa2). There are no toponyms or officials’ names to help identify its provenance, but almost all such accounts are from Umma.
