The Cuneiform Collection of the Clinton Historical Society

"The following six tablets belong to the collection of the Clinton Historical Society of Clinton, MA.[1] A newspaper clipping from the Clinton Daily Item dated to July 2, 1913, says about the acquisition of the tablets that they “were purchased from Dr. Edgar J. Banks of Greenfield who has spent years in archaeological work in the east and who was present when they were uncovered so that their genuineness is undoubted.”[2] Banks directed a University of Chicago expedition to the site of Adab in the early 1900’s..."
