 Inspired by the BBC's //[[http://www.bbc.co.uk/ahistoryoftheworld|A History of the World in 100 Objects]]// we list the one hundred most iconic inscribed objects from the Ancient Near East, objects that we think define the field. We hope that this list will help to engender conversations about these objects, to highlight the importance of cultural heritage protection, and to broaden the appeal of the field.  Inspired by the BBC's //[[http://www.bbc.co.uk/ahistoryoftheworld|A History of the World in 100 Objects]]// we list the one hundred most iconic inscribed objects from the Ancient Near East, objects that we think define the field.
