- Abstract:
- Abstract : This study begins by examining the archaeological and documentary evidence for lavatories (toilets) and foul-water drains in ancient Mesopotamian dwelling houses. It goes on to investigate the use, etymology and history of the Akkadian word asurrû : in the Old Babylonian period it served mainly as a term for a kind of foul-water drain or "sewer" but later shed that meaning.
