Excavations have yielded several small archives, both private and institutional (Jursa 2005b: pp. 102–107). Three private groups date to the Early Achaemenid period: the archive of the sons of Nabû‐ušallim (ending in 484 BCE) and the Eppēš‐ilī and Rē’i‐alpi archives. Late Achaemenid groups include the archive of a slave engaged in various types of business (Bēl‐ana‐mēreti), the archive of an entrepreneur working mostly in the area of agriculture (Mušallim‐Bēl), and a group of tablets associated with the property of a high royal official (rab umma) of Babylonian origin (Lâbâši). Finally, there is a group of texts associated with the administration of the main temple of Kiš, the Edubba. The bulk of the material consists of ration lists that date to the reign of an Artaxerxes, hence the late fifth or to the fourth century BCE. This group is interesting for the close formal parallels to the contemporary Esangila archive from Babylon.
