Matthias Adelhofer is trained in Akkadian and Sumerian philology as well as Ancient Near Eastern archaeology. Currently, he is studying letters exchanged in the course of Old Assyrian long-distance trade. From the materiality, general epistolographic practices, and form to the modes of rhetoric used in the texts, he is investigating the social norms and mentalities present in the correspondence. He has also studied Neo-Babylonian economic archives and the social networks of the persons featuring in them. He is especially interested in social and economic history, linguistics, and palaeography.
