Its value is further increased by the presence of the Bodleian Library\u0026rsquo;s collection of cuneiform tablets. The Ashmolean collection includes tablets allocated to the Museum after excavations by the Oxford-Field Museum Expedition to Kish, Iraq (1923-1933). They constitute the largest provenienced group within the collection. In addition, there are gifts and purchases of tablets, usually without reliable information on their original source.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EStephen Langdon (Shillito Reader 1911-1937) did more than any other single person to develop the tablet collection. Langdon enjoyed the patronage of Herbert Weld-Blundell, who had traveled widely in Africa and the Middle East, and led an expedition to Persepolis in the late 19th Century. He presented his collection to the University in 1921-1922, and subsequently supported the Oxford-Field Museum Expedition to Kish, which Langdon directed.

Professor Oliver Gurney (Shillito Reader 1945-1978) devoted much attention to the Ashmolean\u0026#39;s tablet collection. He joined broken tablet fragments from Kish, and prepared a card index of the whole collection to encourage specialist scholars to research and publish the inscribed material in the Ashmolean Museum. He contributed many copies and identifications of lexical texts to a fundamental publication,\u0026nbsp;\u003Cem\u003EMaterials for the Sumerian Lexicon\u003C\/em\u003E. A volume on Sumerian Literary texts by Oliver Gurney and Samuel Kramer was published as\u0026nbsp;\u003Cem\u003EOECT\u003C\/em\u003E\u0026nbsp;5 in 1976, followed by Dr Gilbert McEwan\u0026rsquo;s publication of Hellenistic texts in\u0026nbsp;\u003Cem\u003EOECT\u003C\/em\u003E\u0026nbsp;9 (1982) and Late Babylonian texts in\u0026nbsp;\u003Cem\u003EOECT\u003C\/em\u003E\u0026nbsp;10 (1984). Professor Gurney published the literary texts with the addition of some non-literary ones in\u0026nbsp;\u003Cem\u003EOECT\u003C\/em\u003E\u0026nbsp;11 (1989). Dr. Francis Joann\u0026egrave;s copied the neo-Babylonian texts in the Bodleian Library collection, published as\u0026nbsp;\u003Cem\u003EOECT\u003C\/em\u003E\u0026nbsp;12 (1990).\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EDr Stephanie Dalley taught Akkadian and Sumerian at the University of Oxford from 1979-2007, receiving the title Shillito Senior Research Fellow in 1988. Dr Dalley and Professor Norman Yoffee prepared a volume of Old Babylonian texts, primarily from Kish, also identifying an important group of texts from the Diyala region in the Museum\u0026rsquo;s collection, published as\u0026nbsp;\u003Cem\u003EOECT\u003C\/em\u003E\u0026nbsp;13 (1991).

An important piece of work was Prof. Ignace Gelb\u0026rsquo;s Sargonic Texts in the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford (Chicago, 1970). For well over twenty years, Dr. Jean-Pierre Gr\u0026eacute;goire worked on the Sumerian administrative texts in the collection, resulting in the publication of\u0026nbsp;\u003Cem\u003EAAICAB\u003C\/em\u003E\u0026nbsp;1\/1-4 (2000-2002).

The collections continue to be an important resource for specialist researchers, and are frequently used for teaching purposes by staff of the Oriental Institute, University of Oxford. Over the years, the curatorial staff and conservation laboratories of the Department of Antiquities, and the Photographic Studio of the Museum, as well as the staff of the Ashmolean Library and the Griffith Institute have contributed their specialist assistance in various ways. The digital age has now ushered in opportunities for wider dissemination of the Ashmolean collections. With the assistance of Dr. Jacob Dahl and Nathanael Shelley (on behalf of CDLI), digitisation of the Ashmolean tablet collections has been initiated and is a continuing process.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cem\u003EText based on Roger Moorey\u0026rsquo;s preface in\u0026nbsp;\u003Cem\u003EAAICAB\u003C\/em\u003E\u0026nbsp;1 (2000), with additions by Jack Green and Stephanie Dalley.\u003C\/em\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","is_pinned":true,"country_iso":"GBR","region_gadm":"GBR.1_1","district_gadm":"GBR.1.69_1","location_longitude_wgs1984":-1.26007,"location_latitude_wgs1984":51.7554,"license_attribution":"Ashmolean Museum, University of Oxford","license_comment":"The digitized images of photographs and original tablets presented in the joint database of the Ashmolean Museum of Art and Archaeology, Oxford, UK, and the Cuneiform Digital Library Initiative, Los Angeles\/Berlin, are for the personal, non-profit use of students, scholars, and the public.
