RAMÛ: Records of Ancient Migration- locating the relocated under empire

This is the underlying data used in the current installation of "RAMÛ: Records of Ancient Migration- Locating the Relocated under Empire," which has been updated to contain only records that have been thoroughly corrected. Each line represents a different imperially coerced migration event as recorded in the textual sources, including original location, final destination, ethnic / people group, and Akkadian terms noted in the passage, among other information. All events are cited with a URL to the appropriate text location in the relevant ORACC subprojects. We’ve streamlined this dataset by addressing inconsistencies and quality concerns identified in earlier versions. The Assyrian empire's data was particularly reduced to presently include only RIMA 2 (Royal Inscriptions of Mesopotamia: Assyria) and RINAP 3 (Tiglath-Pileser III). While reliant upon previously published text corpora, this dataset was created via manual search processes guided by keywords identified and cited from the ORACC 2021 data from KORP rather than by automated process. As such, early versions of the database hold a lower confidence rating than later versions. We are always looking to improve our dataset, if you spot any errors, please reach out to us. The original database was created from the text versions of the Royal Inscriptions of Neo-Assyria project (RINAP), Royal Inscriptions of Mesopotamia: Assyria (RIMA), the State Archives of Assyria (SAA), and the online ORACC subprojects: RIBo (the Royal Inscriptions of Babylonia online) and the now-defunct CTIJ (Cuneiform Texts of Israelites and Judeans). Additionally, the Yahudu archive publications (CUSAS 28 and BaAr 6) and a smattering of the Murašu Archive are also included.
