Sons and Descendants represents the first comprehensive study of
Babylonian family names. Drawing primarily on evidence from legal
documents from the early Neo-Babylonian period (747-626 B.C.), the
book examines the presence of large, named kin groups at the major
Babylonia cities, considering their origins and the important roles
their members played as local elites in city governance and temple
administration. The period of Neo-Assyrian ascendance over
Babylonia marks the first for which there is adequate textual
material to allow for a study of these groups, but their continued
presence and prominence in Babylonia under the native
Neo-Babylonian dynasty and the Persian Empire means that this work
is an important contribution to Assyriological understanding of
Neo-Babylonian society.
