A proof for the Short Chronology in Mesopotamia? The chronological relationship between the texts from Emar and Ekalte
Regine Pruszinszky

Despite the fact that Walter Mayer has repeatedly stressed Ekalte's (Tell Munbaqa) importance for Mesopotamian chronology, we are still confronted with a number of difficulties arising around the Dark Age of Mesopotamia (period following the fall of Babylon I dynasty). This paper discusses the chronological relationship between the Late Bronze Age archives of Ekalte and Emar (Tell Meskene) and questions the forwarded argument for the Short Chronology for Mesopotamia based on historical information mentioned in the texts from Ekalte.
