Abstract
The aim of the project “Taxation and Management of Resources” is to study the eco-
nomic management of resources and taxation in the Ancient Near East. In the follow-
ing paper, I will focus on the Middle Assyrian (henceforth abbreviated MA) state (ca.
1500–1000 BC) and its documentation. I will first enumerate the relevant cuneiform
sources for such a study. Thereafter I will outline modern discussions on tributes and
taxation during the MA Period and the terminology used in the documentation refer-
ring to tributes and taxes during this period. In the main part of this paper, I will dis-
cuss booty, tributes and presents, taxes, and regular offerings.
