Excerpt from Ur Excavations, Vol. 2: The Royal Cemetery; A Report on the Predynastic and Sargonid Graves Excavated Between 1926 and 1931; Text
The objects found in the course of the excavations have been divided between Baghdad, London, and Philadelphia. In accordance with the Antiquities Law of Iraq the Government of the country has the right of first choice, and actually rather more than half the entire collection is now in the Baghdad Museum. To the past and present Directors of Antiquities In Iraq I give my thanks for their impartial administration of the law and their unfailing encouragement of scientific research.
