History
Inside a clay pot, found in a private house east of the citadel gate of Guzana, excavators discovered the private archive of a man with an Aramaic name, Il-manani, dating to the last years of the Assyrian Empire. The archive consists of five Aramaic dockets concerning loans of barley, previously attached to perishable material, and five clay tablets written in Assyrian cuneiform, specifically three loan documents, one purchase document concerning a slave, and one legal settlement.
