Welcome to The Sumerian Home, world leader in cuneiform tools for Assyriology.
Scholar or student, you can save hours of work each day with our tools:
You can locate any cuneiform sign in few seconds with TCD, our Cuneiform Dictionary - no matter if the sign is broken, or is not in the New Assyrian form. You can locate any complex occurrence - "igi...(-ši-)du8", for example - in few seconds with TCT, our Text Search Engine. You can locate raw sign sequences, as if you were looking the raw cuneiform texts - i.e. you can look for "pa-te-si" signs and find "énsi" occurrences.
Text searches are performed on a 1.5 Million lines database. Sign Searches are performed over 2'000 sign samples (where a sample matches more signs). In addition, we are working in an international project for Iraq Museum's artifacts cataloguing and preservation, held by Prof. C. Saporetti of Pisa University for Italian Foreign Minister and Iraq Government. We offer always the best solutions to our past. 
The Cuneiform Dictionary - TCD - is the only interactive cuneiform dictionary of the world. You can find any sign in its huge database in 5-10 seconds. You no longer need to count wedges, or to search a sign page by page on Labat/Borger if it is not in the New Assyrian shape. Are you looking for a broken sign, a sign where only a bit remains? TCD does not care of such limitations. It can find anything that resembles your broken sign, with impressive results. Our Interactive Dictionary also contains Sumerian and Akkadian readings and logograms by historical period: values at hand.
The Cuneiform Texts Resources - TCT - is the ultimate search engine for Assyriology. It supports about 1.5 Millions of text lines, mainly from CDLI, ETCSL and Web PSD Text libraries. You can query for complex occurrences (for example, all the occurrences of "igi…bar" with the "-ši-" infix on verb) or locate text parallels. You can even look for a sequence of signs on raw cuneiform texts.
In addition, TCT contains the Parvus-Thesaurus, a small phonetic thesaurus that gets rid of variants. For example, you can search any occurrence of the Dumuzi name regardless if it is written "du5-mu-zid" or "dumu-zid".
