The usual Monday "Last Week in Pleiades" blog post is delayed until we can investigate the cause of some apparently anomalous output from the script that assembles the data.

Since Monday, the editorial college has published 5 new and 62 updated place resources, reflecting the work of 10 people. he usual Monday blog post will summarize a full week's worth of such work, but meantime here's a at one of the new additions. Authored by first-time contributor Maria Del Rocio Da Riva Muñoz, we now have a place resource for the Akītu of Šarrat-Nippuri, a temple in Babylon, not located, but probably not far from Eḫursagtila (a temple of the god Ninurta, which was as located in the Šuanna district, i.e., modern Ishin Aswad): pleiades.stoa.org/places/13892

The attached map image depicts (in blue) two central location points for ancient Babylon, (in orange) a "representative point" calculated between those two locations), and ("bowtie" icons in green) representative locations of all of the other mappable places in Pleiades located "at" or "in" Babylon.
