Abstract
The level of analysis undertaken in this study can only suggest the role that Nuzi
Ware may have played in the signaling of political identity and relationships in the
Kingdom of Mitanni. Yet, this study has brought to the spotlight aspects of Mitannian
political organization that have been on the periphery of many analyses of Nuzi Ware as
well as studies of the Mitanni Empire. This study used the known data about Nuzi Ware
and placed it in an explicitly political as well as social framework, confinning the
Empire' s decentralized nature, as well as the important role of local elites in the
maintenance of this Empire.
