The role of irrigation management in the development of the first urban societies in Mesopotamia is still an important topic of discussion among philologists, archaeologists and historians. Since the mid-twentieth century, the development of Mesopotamian civilization has been seen as being intrinsically linked to the building of water-related infrastructure (dams, canals, etc.) to ‘tame’ the environment. Therefore, the sector of water related infrastructures is one of the most important for the understanding of the life of the community in the Third Millennium Mesopotamia. The article is aimed at describing the roles and the activities of scribes involved in earthworks in the city of Umma during the Third Dynasty of Ur.
