This comprehensive study of the Proto-Elamite language (ca. 3000
B.C.) is based on a small archive recovered from the site of Tepe
Yahya in southeastern Iran. The authors, two of the leading
specialists on the most ancient written texts of the Near East,
illuminate the structure of the texts, the numerical sign systems
used, and the relation of Proto-Elamite to other protocuneiform
writing systems. A computer-generated sign list compares the
written archive from Tepe Yahya with those of other archaeological
sites from which Proto-Elamite texts have been recovered.
The volume offers a new understanding of the language and
culture of the Proto-Elamites as well as important insights into
the economic structure of the earliest literate civilizations. With
a new preface by the authors.
