Abu_Antiq_is_a_name_given_to_ the_city_by_the_people_of_the_ neigh-boring_areas_It_is_probably_a_

mis-construction_of_the_English_word_

Antiquity_which_means_old_or_

de-rived_ from_ the_ colloquial_ word_

Antiq_which_is_used_by_the_

south-erners_to_refer_to_archaeological_

stuffs_The_old_name_of_Abu_Antiq_ city_ is_Bikasi_ which_ means_glass_

mouth_

Abu_Antiq_ lies_ in_the_border_

triangle_ linking_ the_ three_

gover-norates_ of_ Qadisiyah_ Babil_ and_

Najaf_ Administratively_ the_ site_

belongs_ to_ Qadisiyah_

Governo-rate_It_is_located_about_50_ kilome-ters_south_and_15_kilometers_west_ of_Babil_It_is_situated_in_a_region_

currently_famed_for_growing_

agri-cultural_crops_especially_rice_and_ dates_The_site_had_not_been_

reg-istered_at_the_Archaeology_

Depart-ment_because_it_was_covered_with_ water_till_1994_

The_mound_has_an_oval_shape_ with_the_dimension_of_300_x_180_ meters_and_a_height_of_1.25_meter_

above_the_adjacent_plain_It_is_ pen-etrated_by_an_agrarian_canal_of_20_

meters_width_called_{ “}the_eastern_

canal” Historically_the_city_was_ first_mentioned_in_the_texts_of_the_

early_Babylonian_period_

Excavation_work_was_

conduct-ed_on_the_site_after_it_had_been_

sub-jected_to_encroachment_and_

plun-dering_ So_ an_ expedition_ group_

was_formed_and_commenced_its_

excavations_in_late_1999_Its_work_ lasted_for_five_seasons_till_2007_

Three_building_layers_were_

discov-ered_ which_ contains_ numerous_

fireplaces_ and_ ovens_ of_ various_

shapes_in_addition_to_graves_and_

other_ stuffs_ amounted_ to_ 2652_

pieces_ of_ potteries_ clay_tablets_

cylinder_seals_doles_pottery_

pan-els_and_bronzes_with_different_

con-tents_including_economic_and_

ju-dicial_marriage_contracts_letters_ literary_and_mathematics_texts_and_ etc_

The_number_of_texts_amounted_

to_more_than_1250_tablets_in_the_ second_and_third_seasons_In_this_

research_three_studied_texts_are_

selected_all_of_which_ have_

eco-nomic_ contents_{ –}two_ are_ loans_

and_one_is_a_tax_Two_of_the_texts_

come_with_historical_forms_dating_

back_to_the_time_of_SamsuiIuna_

the_King_of_Babylon_in_whose_reign_ the_city_of_Bikasi_Abu_Antiq_was_ flourished_and_had_close_relations_ with_the_city_of_Babylon
