Cuneiform is a writing system used for over 3000 years to record texts in multiple languages over a wide geographical area. This session gives an overview of digital resources for the study of cuneiform texts, and then introduces the most important databases and platforms relating to cuneiform studies, and the application of digital methods to cuneiform texts. In particular, the session focuses on the Cuneiform Digital Library Initiative which has so far catalogued over 350 000 artefacts, including metadata, photographs, and transliterations, and demonstrates various functions of this database. Students have the opportunity to try out the search functions and investigate the metadata.
