Quantitative Social Network Analysis (SNA) and the Study of Cuneiform Archives: A Test-case based on the Murašû Archive


Abstract

Social network analysis (SNA) is increasingly applied to study archival data, including cuneiform archives, and especially Neo- and Late-Babylonian materials. This paper demonstrates the use of quantitative SNA by means of one example. A network based on 75 documents from the Murasu archive is constructed in order to show a computational, automatic procedure, that demonstrates the potential value of quantitative SNA to cuneiform studies.
