The Haran Census is a group of clay tablets from Iron Age Syria, listing rural estates and their dependent peoples dated to the reign of Sargon II.[1][2][3]
Found in Nineveh, the census actually describes the area around Harran.[4] The census shows that the population in the estates and nearby cities was predominantly Western Semitic,[5] and had an average density of 5 persons per household.[6] The census also provides the name of many smaller towns and the main residents of the time,[7] and provides evidence that the Harran region was growing wheat, barley as well as vines, at the time.[8]
