History
Three seventh-century-B.C. archives were excavated in Fort Shalmaneser, a building complex in the southeastern corner of the city Kalhu. The archive from Rooms SE 14–15 consists of nineteen clay tablets, mostly purchase documents but also some loan documents, a release documents, a legal settlement, and a letter. One of the loan documents is written in Neo-Babylonian dialect, instead of the usual Neo-Assyrian dialect.
