The Babylon Collection of the Vorderasiatisches Museum Berlin: A methodological and epistemological study of collection-based research in Museums

这个设想的项目旨在对柏林Staatliche Museen zu博物馆的Vorderasiatisches博物馆的巴比伦文物群(文物、档案文件、博物馆储存库中的模拟和数字文物数据)进行首次方法学和认识论绘图。该项目的个人目标是：1.根据不同的历史实践背景(例如，发现/挖掘、获取、编目、研究、展示)构建整个巴比伦物体集群，并将这些数据与单个物体联系起来；2.对该物体集群的获取、研究和展示的历史进行基于收藏的研究，作为在考古博物馆的背景下学术和公众接受古代大都市的范例；B)对考古上连贯的一组文物进行个案研究，以显示在考古研究博物馆的主要职能范围内进行综合藏品研究的潜力；3.为今后在博物馆进行的所有巴比伦研究奠定认识论基础，根据博物馆的收藏品和基础设施将其概念化为基础研究，并在佩尔加蒙博物馆的Vorderasiatisches博物馆将于2025年开放的新的永久展览的背景下展示巴比伦文物群。

The envisioned project aims at the first ever methodological and epistemological mapping of the object cluster Babylon (artifacts, archival documents, analog and digital object data in museum repositories) at the Vorderasiatisches Museum of the Staatliche Museen zu Berlin. Individual goals of the project are: 1. structuring the entire object cluster Babylon according to various historical practice contexts (e. g., discovery/excavation, acquisition, inventorying, research, presentation) and linking these data with a view to the individual object; 2. a) carrying out a collection-based study of the history of acquisition, research, and presentation of this object cluster as an example for the academic and public reception of an ancient metropolis in the context of an archaeological museum; b) carrying out a case study on an archaeologically coherent group of objects, in order to demonstrate the potential of integrated collection-based research in the context of the cardinal functions of an archaeological research museum; 3. creating the epistemological foundations for all future Babylon research in museums conceptualized as basic research depending on museum collections and infrastructures, as well as for the presentation of the object cluster Babylon in the context of the new permanent exhibit of the Vorderasiatisches Museum at the Pergamonmuseum to open in 2025.
