The Achaemenid period is particularly well known for the large number of sealed documents that survive. These documents come from various types of contexts, many of them clearly archival in nature. The full extent and significance of this material is only slowly coming into focus. This chapter surveys the evidence for the manner in which seals and sealing functioned in the major surviving corpora of sealed documents from the Achaemenid world.
