During the 1967 season at Tell al-Rimah directed by Mr. David Oates, 282 tablets and fragments were discovered, all except one dating from the Old Babylonian period. They were cleaned on the site by Mr. David Hawkins and myself; after the season's excavations had finished, they were sent to the Iraq Museum. Owing to unavoidable circumstances, it was not possible to continue studying the tablets there; therefore this report is based on the catalogue made on the site, and on preliminary transliterations and copies. I am most grateful to Mr. Hawkins for his invaluable help in the cleaning, copying and transliterating, and in discussions on the texts; nevertheless, the onus of presenting a report from incomplete study rests on myself. All the readings and conclusions offered here are open to correction when the tablets have been studied fully; but they are of such interest that it seemed advisable to present an immediate, preliminary report. A publication of all the texts that will include copies, transliterations, translations and notes will be prepared.
1 I am grateful to Professor D. J. Wiseman and Mr. David Oates for their help and advice on this report.

10 The first element of this name has been read in two ways: Jean, C-F., Studia Mariana p. 80Google Scholar spells it ḫadnu meaning joy, pleasure, and connects it with iaḫdun in the name Iahdun-lim and ḫadun in Dadihadun. Huffmon, H. B., Amorite personal names of the Mari period p. 205Google Scholar, reads it ḫatnu, meaning daughter's husband, son-in-law, and thinks it may not be radically connected with iaḫdun and ḫadun (cf. p. 191).
