Cuneiform texts in the Fort Collins Museum of Discovery

In this brief article four previously unpub- lished texts kept in the Museum of Discovery at Fort Collins (Colorado) are presented. All of them, except probably one, were acquired from E.J. Banks by C.P. Gil- lette, an internationally renowned entomologist who worked at the Colorado State University from 1891 to 1930. Three of the texts are related to the Third Dynasty of Ur, while one is a historical inscription (clay cone) of Sîn-Kašid of Uruk. A description of the history of the objects is added as an Appendix.
