Inscribed cuneiform artifacts catelogued by the CDLI number nearly 350,000 individual pieces. While those tagged as “Royal/Monumental” number just 20,000, they assume a disproportionately large role in history, literature, and linguistics in the several sub-fields of cuneiform studies. Building, historical, or votive inscriptions mentioning royal personages are found not just on tablets of clay, stone, or precious metals, but also on clay tags, bricks, nails, cones, cylinders, and prisms; on stone stelae, wall slabs, plaques, statues, socles, vessels, mace heads, door pivots, and foundation pegs; and on metal foundation deposits, figurines, vessels and weapon blades. CDLI’s sub-project dedicated to these texts is directed by Daniel A. Foxvog. |
