Welcome to Aktanak

Aktanak is a repository of information of early stamp seals of the Middle East primarily focusing on stamp seals from the Pottery Neolithic until the Ubaid. It has been created to accompany the PhD of Simon Denham, an AHRC funded Collaborative Doctoral Award between the University of Manchester and The British Museum. The thesis was awarded in October 2013.

Aktanak's main purpose however is to create a resource that will allow people to gain information on what stamp seals exist from the Late Neolithic of the Near East and where they are published and so on. It is still under construction and is being gradually in amongst other commitments.

At present it covers 349 stamp seals and 166 other objects, mostly 'pendants' or 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.
