My new article's out in First Look (Open Access) in @Antiquity! 🎉🤓 In it I look at over a thousand Assyrian graves to conclude that the gap in wealth between rich and poor widened significantly as the empire grew. (1/4)

Rough fucking day to be a Penn AND Ohio State alum....

Overall, this forms the second-largest corpus of graves excavated belonging to the Kassite period, and gives us more insight into the diverse practices of the time. DM me for the article PDF! 📝
