This text also demonstrates an important administrative point. In the texts recording the delivery of finished goods, the term gamru occurs regularly (in twelve of the twenty-six texts of this group; compare the blacksmiths where the term occurs in only forty of 110 texts; see also 3.1.3 for a discussion of this term). The use of this term indicates that with certain elements of bookkeeping and accounting, the practices of the bronze smiths were more similar to those of the blacksmiths, despite the similarities in function to the goldsmiths.
