About This Collection
This corpus contains transliterations from the Open Richly Annotated Cuneiform Corpus (ORACC), spanning from the Early Dynastic period (~2900 BCE) through the Neo-Babylonian period (~539 BCE). Every tablet has been indexed, every word lemmatized, every sign catalogued. The concordance traces word usage across 4,000 years of human civilization -- the longest continuous writing tradition in history.
