The “CHNT Poster Session” is a thematically “open” call, only limited by the scope of the CHNT. The work will be presented as a poster during the entire conference and the authors are invited to give a short presentation of their project. The format of this session shall give especially young scientists the opportunity to perform their “first steps” into the scientific community but, of course, it is not limited to those. Every year, the scientific committee of CHNT is looking forward to the great and outstanding posters and is glad to honor the “best poster” as one of the highlights of the conference, the “Best Poster Award”. The winner of this year’s award is allowed to publish the proposed work as long paper in the conference’s proceedings. Presentation Guidelines Size of the Poster: A0 (841 x 1188 mm) Orientation: portrait Design the poster space carefully by using several sections including title, objectives, methodology, input data, case study, results, analysis, conclusion(s), etc. All sections should be clearly and nicely presented, e.g. by using frames and colours. Use large characters that are at least 10 mm (e.g. Arial, Times New Roman). Do not use more than 2000 characters. Give each section a title and a brief explanation. Prepare enlarged figures / photographs (3–5) with a minimum size of 200 mm by 250 mm. Do not forget to put the author(s)’ name(s), affiliation and email-address(es) on the poster. Delivering your Presentation Each author has to present the poster within a 2 minutes oral presentation. For this, send a digital copy of your accepted poster or a detail (PDF) by October 10, 2021 to news@chnt.at. (Max. files size: 2 MB) Bring your poster in hard copy format to the conference! No poster printing facilities will be available on the conference venues. Bring your poster on Tuesday, November 2, 2021 between 8 and 9 am to the registration point. Staff will help you with fixing it to the moving walls. Accepted posters will be shown for the duration of the conference. The “Vienna Archaeology and Cultural Heritage Poster Award” will be given in one category: New Technologies to the best poster each during...

Human-Machine collaboration for restoring ancient Mesopotamian heritage Ethan Fetaya FETAYA 1 | Shai GORDIN 2(1 Bar-Ilan University, Ramat Gan | 2 Ariel University Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities, Ariel, Israel) Abstract: The documentary sources for the political, economic, and social history of ancient Mesopotamia (modern Iraq) constitute hundreds of thousands of clay tablets inscribed in the cuneiform script. Most tablets are damaged, leaving gaps in the texts written on them, and the missing portions must be restored by experts. In our talk, we will present a new open-source initiative called the Babylonian Engine, a Digital Humanities project that aims to reconstruct the ancient Babylonian society, environment and landscape using philological data and Machine Learning algorithms. We will discuss available digitized texts in Akkadian and how they can be used for training advanced machine-learning algorithms to restore daily economic and administrative documents from Babylonia under the rule of the Persian empire (6th to 4th centuries BCE). As the amount of digitized texts grows, the model can be trained to restore damaged texts belonging to other genres, such as scientific or literary texts. Therefore, this is a first step for a large-scale reconstruction of a lost ancient heritage, by creating a human-machine interface for the historical sciences and the...
