Welcome to Aktanak

Aktanak is a repository of information of early stamp seals of the Middle East primarily focusing on artefacts from the Ubaid and earlier. It is still under construction and many elements will therefore not be complete.

At present it covers 349 stamp seals and 166 other objects, mostly sealings.

The information can be accessed through a number of methods depending on your interests, if you wish to look specifically at the artefacts from an individual site please go to Regions and narrow down by modern geo-political boundaries, if you wish a specific artefact group via Artefacts and specific materials via Materials. These top-level categories can also be accessed from the categories section of the sidebar. Once more interpretive elements are added they too will have their own top-level category.
