Two Precursors of Writing: Plain and Complex Tokens.

Envelope with its content of five spheres from Susa.Denise Schmandt-Besserat.
The Origins of Writing / edited by Wayne M. Senner. 1991: 27-41.

Reckoning Before Writing.

Impressed clay bulla with token contents from Susa.Denise Schmandt-Besserat.
Archaeology. May/June 1979, Vol. 32, No. 3, p. 22-31.

The tokens from Tepe Asiab may be considered an elaboration of a system of counting based on pebbles. The novelty was to use clay for the manufacture of the counters, permitting one to model the tokens into various shapes and to assign each form a particular meaning. Thus, the counters became a more previse memory aid since not only conferred the quantity but also the specific nature of the commodities recorded.
