The Iraqi archaeological expedition to Umma (Tell Jokha) from 1999 to 2002 discovered hundreds of cuneiform texts from the time of Sumuel of Larsa, both in the temple of Shara and in the municipal center. With this textual and archaeological data, Umma becomes an exemplary case for studying the political organization in a period of changes and conflicts.
