Our research came to shed light on an important type of Sumerian cuneiform texts from the Ur III Period (2004_2012 B.C.), which are known as the texts of the baskets of tablets (pisan-dub-ba) and belonging to the city of Iri-sagrig, that city rich in types of texts with multiple contents, and after collecting these the texts, analyzing them and knowing their contents and dates, we found that they carry one general wording, and they were written on the regular texts and in the form of mud shapes known as bulla. The purpose of writing these texts, which were tied with strings at the mouths of the baskets of tablets, was to find out what is inside those baskets of texts, what are their contents, and the period of time they belong to, and who is responsible for preserving them. All these matters constitute an important aspect of the archiving and preservation processes. which indicate the accuracy and organization of the administrative institutions in the Ur III Period in general, and the institutions of the city of Iri-sagrig in particular.
