Musical Instruments of Ancient Mesopotamia (MIAM)

MIAM – Musical Instruments of Ancient Mesopotamia connects research questions and methodologies of archaeological, philological, musicological, and ethnological disciplines. The Collection, classification and interpretation of sound artefacts, their terminology, iconography, and contexts fulfills the need for a comprehensive cultural-historical outline of Mesopotamian music. Its outcome is presented in an online database and lexicon based on Semantic Media Wiki-technology (SMW).
