Potential merges

I pondered merging in Kish tablet and/or Proto-cuneiform numerals but didn't pull the trigger. Its a thought though.Ploversegg (talk) 16:48, 30 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Did Kish tablet. Thinking about Proto-cuneiform numerals, which seems superfluous.Ploversegg (talk) 15:56, 9 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Pre-cuneiform

What is the relationship between Pre-cuneiform and Proto-cuneiform? Born25121642 (talk) 01:57, 16 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Pre-cuneiform means the tokens etc in use before proto-cuneiform was developed c. Uruk IV period. Often called proto-writing. Sometimes people use pre-cuneiform when they really mean proto-cuneiform. One thing that confuses people is that the tokens continued in occasional use even after cuneiform was developed, presumably because they were simple and useful.Ploversegg (talk) 14:23, 29 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
