Popis: Animal husbandry in first millennium Babylonia was an important sector of the economy of the two well documented temple households, the Eanna in Uruk and the Ebabbar in Sippar. Most of our information on animal husbandry in that period comes from their archives. We know scarcely anything of animal husbandry in other temples (Larsa, Udannu, Borsippa) or the royal household due to the lack of archival evidence.
