3D Dataset of Cuneiform Bearing Objects at the Sulaymaniyah Museum

This paper presents high-resolution 3D models of cuneiform tablets from the Sulaymaniyah Museum, digitized using the Hexagon SmartScan 3D with approximately 10µm spatial resolution. The dataset includes 44 publishable tablets spanning from 2330 − 330 BCE, processed with GigaMesh open-source software. The 3D models enable advanced research applications including OCR development, fingerprint analysis, improved philological editions, and seal extraction. Enhanced visualization using Multi-Scale Integral Invariants (MSII) filtering reveals previously unreadable text and fine details. This initiative contributes significantly to digital palaeography and cultural heritage preservation while following established criteria for 3D data publication in Assyriology.
