Text of the page (random words):
as proto cuneiform with many of the tokens about two thirds having been found in susa tokens remained in use after the development of proto cuneiform and proto elamite 9 10 11 12 the earliest tablets contain only lists of numbers they are found not only at susa and uruk but also at sites without later proto elamite and proto cuneiform tablets like tell brak habuba kabira tepe hissar godin tepe and jebel aruda 13 14 15 16 17 linear elamite is attested much later in the last quarter of the 3rd millennium bce it is uncertain whether the proto elamite script was the direct predecessor of linear elamite since it remains largely undeciphered and a postulated relationship between the two is speculative early on similarities were noted between proto elamite and the cretan linear a script 18 corpus edit the proto elamite writing system was used over a large area from susa in the west to tepe yahya in the east the corpus consists of some 1600 tablets the vast majority unearthed at susa where the first two tablets were found by jacques de morgan in the late 1800s 19 proto elamite tablets have been found at the following sites susa more than 1600 tablets and fragments 20 21 anshan or

elamite tablet found at tepe yahya the first step in deciphering an unknown writing system is publishing the corpus and developing a proposed sign list 39 the texts have now been mostly published but the sign list is still in progress proto elamite has many singleton signs like early stages of proto cuneiform because texts are primarily consumed locally there is disagreement over whether some signs are different or merely variants but by 1974 enough of a consensus on the signs was reached that decipherment could advance 40 41 42 43 in 2012 dr jacob dahl of the university of oxford announced a project to publish high quality images of proto elamite clay tablets online he hopes that crowdsourcing by academics and amateurs working together will make progress 44 nearly 1600 proto elamite tablets are now on line 45 materials were put online 46 on a wiki of the cuneiform digital library initiative 47 in 2020 françois desset fr of the laboratoire archéorient in lyon announced a proposed decipherment and translation 48 49 in 2022 he proposed sign forms for proto elamite recasting it as early proto iranian 50 51 the proposal was not met with universal agreement 52 although the decipherment of proto elamite remains uncertain the content of many texts is known this is because certain signs notably a majority of the numerical signs are similar to the neighboring mesopotamian proto cuneiform in addition a number of the proto elamite signs depict the objects they represent however the majority of the proto elamite signs are abstract and their meanings can only be deciphered through careful graphemic analysis 53 an example from a small tablet sb 06355 from susa where most signs are known 54 m384 ab m362 4 n14 7 n01 m367 8 n01 m346 6 n01 m006 6 n01 m362 a 1 n14 m367 a 2

language has been suggested as the language of the proto elamite inscriptions there is no positive evidence of this the earliest proto elamite inscriptions being purely ideographic do not in fact contain any linguistic information nor is it known what language was spoken in the area during the proto elamite period 55 clay tokens circa 3500 bc susa ii or uruk period terracotta from susa louvre
