PopUp Exhibition | Laurie Pearce on “By the Rivers of Babylon”

Laurie E. Pearce is a Lecturer in Assyriology at Berkeley. Her areas of speciality include the economic and social history of Mesopotamia in the later part of the first millennium BCE. She studies legal texts written in Hellenistic Uruk: these texts form the basis of her project on  Hellenistic Babylonia: Texts, Images and Names, which can be accessed and studied through Berkeley Prosopography Services. In this PopUp Exhibition, Dr. Pearce will speak about the cuneiform texts mentioning the earliest Judean exiles in Babylonia.
