Based at the Würzburg University, the “Cuneiform On Wax” project aims to investigate the writing technique(s) used to write cuneiform on wax through a interdisciplinary experimental approach. For this purpose, it brings together the perspectives of philology (Department of Ancient Cultures, Ancient Near Eastern Studies), chemistry (Faculty of Chemistry and Pharmacy, Technical Didactics), and biology (HOneyBee Online Studies), also availing itself of advice, collaboration and support from external scholars and institutions. Among its goals there are the reconstruction of waxed boards and writing implements, the experimentation of related writing techniques, and a critical reassessment of the role, diffusion, and terminology of beeswax and waxed boards in the Ancient Near East, with a special focus on the chemical composition of the wax paste and on matters of writing technology, manufacturing, and raw material supply.
