In November 2019, I conducted research at the British Museum with the support of the Stahl Endowment of the Archaeological Research Facility. As part of my dissertation work, I examined, copied, photographed, and deciphered cuneiform tablets from the first millennium BCE Mesopotamia. My dissertation focuses on Babylonian astronomy and practices of telling time by the stars on one hand and producing astronomical knowledge on the other hand. In particular, my work focuses on stars that are designated by the Akkadian term ziqpu, or “upright stars.” It aims to place the astronomical knowledge of these stars into the broader context of the history and philosophy of science. My dissertation offers the first comprehensive treatment of these stars, including the publication of previously unpublished texts housed in the British Museum. In total, 21 tablets related to my dissertation were examined during this research trip. Out of these, nine texts are unpublished and the remaining twelve have received various forms of attention, from simple copying of the tablets to translations of select segments. Thus, additional work is required for these twelve tablets. During the visit to the British Museum, I was also able to sift through the archives and find two additional tablets that I was previously unaware of (these are included in the aforementioned nine unpublished texts). The text editions of the unpublished material as well as supplemental work on the published texts will appear as an appendix in my dissertation.
