DESCRIPTION:~Co-organised with CDAL Seminar Series~\nAs traditional schola
 rs\, Assyriologists have often relied on authority rather than reproducibi
 lity to build upon colleagues’ work. With the important digitisation mov
 ement of the last 30 years\, the toolkit at the disposal has tremendously 
 diversified. Although a minority of specialists have developed a digital b
 ranch of Assyriology and embraced new methods\, sometimes following in the
  footsteps of fellow archaeologists\, this new territory of possibilities 
 remains largely unexplored. In this talk\, I will introduce a few computat
 ional approaches to text and their application\, looking at human-environm
 ent interactions and ancient identity markers. These approaches rely on co
 mputational linguistic methods\, and encompass information extraction and 
 (linguistic) network analysis. Reuse of such methods\, despite open source
  practice\, often depends on sustainable research infrastructures. In that
  spirit\, I will introduce the EU ATRIUM project which focuses on reusable
  archaeological digital research workflows and what this can mean for the 
 future of the study of cuneiform cultures.
