This archive is located in the South-West Palace. Exact findspots do not exist for tablets from nineteenth-century excavations. J.E. Reade (RLA 9 p. 421 §17) states the following about this archive repository: “The major find of tablets was inside Rooms 40-41 of the South-West Palace, where a layer of them 30 cm or deeper 'entirely filled' the floor (Layard 1853, 67 f.). This would amount to 28 cubic meters, clearly too high a figure since it is more than double the space now allocated to storing the K tablets individually in boxes on museum shelves, but it confirms that the bulk of the collection came from this area.”
