Summary/Abstract: An ugly baked clay cylinder seal from Hammam al-Turkman ispublished here with a short discussion of some parallels. It is suggestedthat in the course of the Middle Bronze II period functionarieshoused in the Administrative Complex may have been using threegenres of cylinder seals: simple baked clay ones like the one discussedhere, better made baked clay ones and the Old Babylonian (Sippar?)style ones, of which only impressions on bullae were found.
