AGATE

The project Hethitische Forschungen has been based in Mainz for more than 20 years. The project has grown out of fifty years of collecting and editing and of participating in the excavations of the German Archaeological Institute in Bogazköy-Hattuša (Turkey).

The task has existed since the beginning of the research project in:

1. the archival collection of cuneiform tablets found during excavations in Bogazköy in the form of autographs, transcriptions and photographs;

2. the thesaurus-like recording of the text material with regard to lexicon, grammar and factual statements;

3. the first publication of the cuneiform texts, both from the earlier rich finds and from the new excavations in the academy series cuneiform texts from Boghazköi;

4. the philological processing and linguistic evaluation of these texts in the Academy series Studies on the Bogazköy Texts.
