As part of a joint research project between the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and the University of Southern California, UIUC students from Professor Wayne Pitard’s Religious Studies course “Literacy in the Ancient World” created impressions of Mesopotamian cylinder seals from the Museum’s collection.  Christa and John of the Museum’s Collections Management Section were on hand to assist with the project.  For more information on the project, please go to http://inscriptifact.ncsa.uiuc.edu.
