Seals and their impressions on clay sealings and cuneiform tablets (“kišib” in the Sumerian language) form the oldest and most extensive body of images originating from the Middle East. This valuable store of knowledge is scattered in museums and collections around the world, and digital access has been limited up to now. The project opens up a representative corpus of around 80,000 seals and sealings from the 4^th to the 1^st century BC using methods including machine learning.
