Abstract

This study examines Mitanni palaeography, specifically focusing on the Tušratta letters, a collection of cuneiform tablets found at el-Amarna. The author, Zenobia S. Homan, notes that palaeography is an under-researched field in cuneiform studies and proposes a statistical approach using a database of sign-instances to offer a more objective comparison of archives.
