Ancient mathematics, Babylonian and Sumerian in particular, but also
Egyptian, Greek, Indian, Chinese.

Ancient metrology, that is the structure of systems of numbers and
measures

I am particularly interested in and capable of working with previously
unpublished mathematical cuneiform texts from all periods (proto-literate,
Sumerian, Old and Late Babylonian), both table texts and more difficult
problem texts (I can read cuneiform)
