Cuneiform Inscriptions Geographical Site - Assemblage Estimates (CIGS-AE)
<p>The <em>Cuneiform Inscriptions Geographical Site - Assemblage Estimates </em>(CIGS-AE) provides basic overall estimates of and bibliographical references for the approximate number of cuneiform inscriptions derived from individual archaeological locations. In use across the wider Middle East from c. 3,400 BCE until 100 CE, cuneiform is one of the earliest and most extensively documented ancient scripts in world history. The CIGS-AE is a component of the <a href="https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.4960710">Cuneiform Inscriptions Geographial Site (CIGS)</a> index, a digital geospatial register of archaeological sites with finds of cuneiform inscriptions across Europe, Asia, and Africa.</p> <p>CIGS-AE provides a first comprehensive quantitative overview of the approximate number of cuneiform inscriptions unearthed from known archaeological locations. It does not provide an overview of the entire corpus of cuneiform inscriptions known, as the index disregards all inscriptions with no verifiable archaeological origin, estimated to be between fifteen and twenty per cent of the overall corpus according to the catalogue of the <a href="https://cdli.mpiwg-berlin.mpg.de/heatmap">Cuneiform Digital Library Initiative</a>. The present resource then offers a lower threshold for the size of the full cuneiform corpus and a fairly reliable overview of its general distribution. The accompanying bibliography offers a basic set of references for all known archaeological sites with finds of cuneiform inscriptions. This information is intended as a starting point for further study, and should not be considered an exhaustive nor authoritative bibliography.</p> <p>This resource has been prepared by researchers of the <a href="http://lingfil.uu.se/">Department of Linguistics and Philology</a> of <a href="http://uu.se/">Uppsala University</a>. The index is intended as a tool for students and researchers in cuneiform studies and related areas and as an aid to cultural heritage managers and educators in communicating and safeguarding this unique body of world written heritage. The index remains under development and is regularly updated. The authors will very much appreciate notices of any omissions, errors, or inaccuracies. For any inquiries, please contact <a href="https://www.katalog.uu.se/profile/?id=N18-1120">Rune Rattenborg</a> (<a href="mailto:rune.rattenborg@lingfil.uu.se?subject=%5BCIGS-AE%5D%3A">rune.rattenborg@lingfil.uu.se</a>).</p> <p>The version 1.1 index contains 603 entries with a total five fields, including one primary ID, two integer fields for assemblage size and grouping, and two string fields for bibliographical references and notes. Record identifiers are matched with primary IDs in <a href="https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.4960710">Cuneiform Inscriptions Geographial Site (CIGS)</a> index to allow for geospatial visualisation of quantitative data. Reference short titles are matched with short titles contained in the accompanying .bibtex.</p>
Cuneiform Inscriptions Geographical Site Index (CIGS)
<p>The <em>Cuneiform Inscriptions Geographial Site</em> (CIGS) index contains a basic set of primary spatial, toponym, attribute, and external link information on close to 600 archaeological locations where texts written in cuneiform and derived scripts have been found. In use across the wider Middle East from c. 3,400 BCE until 100 CE, cuneiform is one of the earliest and most extensively documented ancient scripts in world history. This resource has been prepared by researchers of the Department of Linguistics and Philology of Uppsala University. The index is intended as a tool for students and researchers in cuneiform studies and related areas and as an aid to cultural heritage managers and educators in communicating and safeguarding this unique body of world written heritage. The index remains under development and is regularly updated. The authors will very much appreciate notices of any omissions, errors, or inaccuracies.

For further details, see <a href="https://cdli.ucla.edu/pubs/cdlj/2021/cdlj2021_001.html">Rattenborg et al. 2021</a>.</p> <p>The version 1.7 index contains 598 entries with a total twenty-six fields, including one primary ID, one integer field for accuracy, twenty-two string fields with toponyms and links, and two spatial data fields. Coordinates given use the WGS 1984 geographic coordinate reference system (<a href="https://epsg.io/4326">EPSG 4326</a>) and have been truncated to four decimal digits. Site locations have been traced from archaeological gazetteers and web mapping services (e.g. <a href="https://pleiades.stoa.org/">Pleiades</a>, <a href="https://www.geonames.org/">GeoNames</a> and <a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/">OpenStreetMap</a>) and digitally generated from optical recognition using current and legacy satellite imagery datasets in QGIS 3.x.</p> <p>The version 1.7 data set is updated to correlate with archaeological locations included in the <a href="https://cdli.mpiwg-berlin.mpg.de">Cuneiform Digital Library Initiative</a> table of proveniences (see <a href="https://cdli.mpiwg-berlin.mpg.de/proveniences">https://cdli.mpiwg-berlin.mpg.de/proveniences</a>), migrated July 2023.

Shaping History: Advanced Machine Learning Techniques for the Analysis and Dating of Cuneiform Tablets over Three Millennia - Datasets
<p>Our research leverages advanced deep learning methods to classify cuneiform tablets by their historical periods, focusing on shape analysis rather than textual content. Utilizing a dataset of over 94,000 images from the Cuneiform Digital Library Initiative, we introduce a novel toolset powered by Variational Auto-Encoders (VAEs) to enhance model interpretability. By highlighting the predictive power of tablet silhouettes for historical period classification with a ResNet model reaching 61\% macro-F1 score,, our approach allows researchers to explore changes in tablet shapes across different eras. This methodology not only complements traditional archaeological methods but also enriches the field of document analysis and diplomatics, offering valuable tools for historians and epigraphists to understand ancient Mesopotamian cultures.</p> <p>The Datasets attached include:</p> <ul> <li>All CDLI IDs used and their URLs on CDLI</li> <li>All tablet silhouettes - Black and white representations</li> <li>A height-to-width ratio table, of the largest component extracted from the silhouettes.</li> <li>VAE encodings per tablet, extracted from the VAE model</li> </ul>
