The University of Pennsylvania has a long commitment to the study of ancient Near Eastern cultures of Mesopotamia, Syria, Iran, and Anatolia. Since the nineteenth century, the University Museum has mounted excavations in the Near East. The most important of these were Nippur and Ur, each of which produced thousands of artifacts that have become the basis of the collections at the Penn Museum. From Nippur came cuneiform documents that form the core of the Museum's world-renowned Babylonian Tablet Collection. From Ur came treasures from the Royal Cemetery of Ur (including the entire contents of the grave of Pu Abi), one of the most celebrated sites of the Ancient Near East. In the early twentieth century, the Museum sponsored work in northern Iraq (Tepe Gawra) and in Iran (Tepe Hissar and Cheshm Ali). This Iranian focus increased in the middle of the twentieth century, when the burned city of Hasanlu and ancient Anshan, the elamite highland capital, added substantially to the Museum's holdings. These collections serve as one important foundation for the continued study of the art and archaeology of the Mesopotamian and pre-Islamic Iran by Holly Pittman, Bok Family Professor in the Humanities, in the History of Art Department and as a Curator in the Near East Section of the Penn Museum.
