Broad-scale Patterns in the Distribution of Ethnic Names in the Neo-Babylonian Oracc Corpus
Abstract
In this paper I investigate the broad-scale distribution of ethnic terms in a large corpus of digitized Neo-Babylonian texts. I take up the same guiding questions and methodology that were used in an earlier study of Neo-Assyrian texts. I also present some points of comparison in the distribution of ethnic terms within the Neo-Assyrian versus Neo-Babylonian corpora.
