Search the ATE database

» Fill in one or more search criteria; for every search field, you can specify up to two requests, combined by the boolean 'OR' or 'AND':
Limit:	Egypt only Outside Egypt Egypt and abroad
Publication:	lookup lookup
	E.g. Textbook of Aramaic Documents 1 A 4.1; P. Cowley 21; MDAIK 46 (1990), p. 252 no. 4 descr.;... When looking for a specific publication, the user may, in most cases, find it more convenient to look for a publication in the online TM-bibliography which is fully linked with the ATE database.
Editor:
	E.g. Grelot; Cowley; Arthur Ernest
Inventory:
	E.g. Berlin, Ägyptisches Museum P. 13464; Oxford, Bodleian Library Pell. Aram. XIII; Cairo; Egyptian Museum JdE 98511. When looking for a specific inventory number, the quickest way to find it is to combine a search for the English name of the city with one for the number, e.g. 'Berlin' AND '13464'. Alternatively, you can search for a collection here.
Provenance:
	Both modern and ancient place names can be used for searching; e.g. Egypt, Geziret Assuan, Elephantine, ...
Nome/region:	lookup lookup
	E.g. U09 (for the 9th Upper Egyptian nome), L01 (for the 1st Lower Egyptian nome), or 00 (for the Fayum). Only codes can be used in this field; to enter them, click 'lookup' above to choose a nome from the geographically ordered list.
Type:
	E.g. Letter, account, literature,...
Date:	between and strict
	E.g. between -30 and 25. For BC dates use negative numbers. To look for exact dates fill out the same number twice. The standard 'strict' search only includes records whose ranges entirely fall within the search range. When 'strict' is unchecked, the computer will also include records for which only one of the terms of the record's range falls in the search range, provided the range of the record is not broader than that of the search range. Thus records with a range -50 to -20 will be included amongst the results of the example search, but not those with a range -332 to -30.

Main Sort:
Sub Sort:

A wildcard character is added automatically before and after your search string, to facilitate searching. If you want to search for records with a field not empty, type an underscore '_' as search-value for that field.
