In 4999 a collection of archaeological pieces were seized at the Iraq - Jordan borders its number is (4246) pieces most of them are cuneiform texts.

These texts were written in Sumerian language during the Akkadian rule which confirms the peaceful coexistence between population namely (Sumerians and Akkadians).

The number of texts of this research is five texts with economic implications related to grain and animals as well as other materials. Because of the fact that these texts were confiscated, we ought to identifying the ownership of the texts and finding out the geographic location come from them and then determining the period of the texts.
