A NEW WRITING SYSTEM DISCOVERED IN 3 RD MILLENNIUM BCE IRAN: THE KONAR SANDAL 'GEOMETRIC' TABLETS
Résumé
Four tablets probably written in the second half of the 3rd millennium BCE were recently found in Konar Sandal, an archaeological site in the Halil Rud valley in southeastern Iran. Three of them are bigraphical, with a Linear Elamite inscription and a second inscription in previously unknown signs that are qualified here as 'Geometric'. The fourth tablet remains enigmatic. Descriptions of the tablets, a study of their signs and semantic structure, and hypotheses concerning their content are given here.
