The principal excavator’s own account of his results is given in a good popular form in Robert Koldewey, The Excavations at Babylon (1914). Lengthy discussions of the city may be found in H.W.F. Saggs, Everyday Life in Babylonia and Assyria (1965; reissued 1987); James Wellard, Babylon (also published as By the Waters of Babylon, 1972); and D.J. Wiseman, Nebuchadrezzar and Babylon (1985).
