- Abstract
- We present an index providing estimates of the number of cuneiform inscriptions derived from individual archaeological locations, along with bibliographical references for these estimates. Archaeological finds of cuneiform inscriptions are known from across Europe, Asia, and Africa, with the present index including an aggregate 430,000 inscriptions distributed across 600 locations. This index can be used on its own as a bibliographical reference for finds or as a source of basic statistics. Combined with existing geospatial data, the index can generate quantitative and geographical overviews of corpus distribution.
