There is a wealthof documentation on this subject from the Amorite period. In particular the Mari archivesand contemporary archives such as those at Chagar Bazar (ancient Ašnakkum) and Tell Lei-lan (ancient Šehnā/Šubat-Enlil) provide a wealth of information on the events that follo-wed the death of the powerful Samsī-Addu in the beginning of the 18th century BCE. Theconsequences for the fate of the members of his administration will be studied by combi-ning the study of tablets, seals and sealings discovered in the numerous archives from thisperiod.
