• Resumen

  • Since the first efforts to create a relatively secure chronological order for Zimri-Lim's reignal years, scholars working on OB Mari history have been dealing with the difficulties the dated administrative documents present. Their intention to construct a reliable framework wherein to place an ordered myriad of political events has a fairly long history; several works were based on different approaches to the materials at hand, all along with the publication of new translated tablets. As the chronological scheme, in consequence, has been changed at several points, it is worth analyzing the process of its creation up to now.
