Nisaba 15/2 0915
by Walther Sallaberger 
Commentary
The document lists the workdays only, thus the (average) number of men and the period of work remain unknown. Furthermore, all numbers are unclear due to the heavy salt incrustations on the tablet. In this case, the number of workers and days cannot be guessed in the same way as for Nisaba 15/2 0547, as observed by Heimpel 2013: 203: „The numbers do not have anything close to one divisor“, and thus the number of workers and days cannot be estimated.
