Šuqurtum
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Šuqurtum (fl. c. 2070 BC) was a concubine of king Shulgi, second king of the Third Dynasty of Ur.[1] Unlike several other royal women of the king, she is not well attested in the surviving archaeological record. She is mentioned on a stone vase found at Ur, where she a called his beloved concubine (lukur is the word for concubine).[2] Shulgi appears on the vase too. Otherwise, her name appears in a few economical texts, providing evidence that funerary offerings were made after her death.[3]
