Abstract
In this article, we study the problems found in the Susa Mathematical Texts No.\,24 and No.\,25 (\textbf{SMT No.\,24} and \textbf{SMT No.\,25}) which concern excavation projects such as canals and holes. We also examine certain Elamite structures, such as the canal systems serving Susa and a reservoir at the ziggurat of Chogha Zanbil, in whose construction geometry might well have played an important role.
