This administrative tablet is dated to the third month of the 46th year of Shulgi, second king of the Third Dynasty of Ur. The tablet is likely from the present-day site of Drehem in Southern Iraq, where there was an important clearing centre for cattle and sheep. The tablet records the issue of sheep and/or goats for sacrifices to various gods.
