Description

The Database of Neo-Sumerian Texts (BDTNS), based at the Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (CSIC) in Madrid, is an electronic corpus containing more than 100 000 administrative cuneiform texts in Sumerian language dating to the reign of the Third Dynasty of Ur (c. 2112–2004 BCE). The database provides rich bibliographic and object metadata (provenience, dating, material, measurement), and transliterations of the Sumerian text. For many objects, the database also provides photos and line drawings, and links to additional electronic resources.
