Shaduppum, Ancient administrative site in Baghdad, Iraq
The archaeological remains of Shaduppum extend over 150 meters in diameter and rise 5 meters high, featuring fortification walls with defensive towers.
The settlement reached its peak during the Old Babylonian period between 2000-1595 BCE as part of the Kingdom of Eshnunna along the Diyala River.
Excavations at Shaduppum revealed 2000 clay tablets containing texts about law, mathematics, literature, and fragments of the Epic of Gilgamesh.
The site lies 600 meters from Tell Mohammad and contains five distinct occupation layers, with Layer II holding the majority of cuneiform tablets.
The name Shaduppum translates to 'the accountant's office' in Akkadian, reflecting its role as a major administrative center in ancient Mesopotamia.
