The emergence of writing has often been scrutinized through the lens of linguistic notation, while the visual and metaphorical strategies employed in invented scripts are typically sidelined. Being predominantly iconic, ancient, invented scripts offer substantial potential for visual metaphor, a strategy that can operate independently of linguistic coding. Metaphors can operate in multimodal ways, as shown by conceptual metaphor theory, and they …
Codes in the Making. A New Appraisal of Neolithic Imagery in Southwest Asia
Marks and figurative representations have been recognized as crucial socio-cognitive components that contributed to the transition from foraging to farming of the Neolithic in southwest Asia, during a period in which communities adopted novel social interactions and economic strategies. This article investigates image production and the trajectories tied to the creation of visual codes. We show that since the early Neolithic phases (c. 9700–6600 …
Seals and signs
Administrative innovations in South-west Asia during the fourth millennium BC, including the cylinder seals that were rolled on the earliest clay tablets, laid the foundations for proto-cuneiform script, one of the first writing systems. Seals were rich in iconography, but little research has focused on the potential influence of specific motifs on the development of the sign-based proto-cuneiform script. Here, the authors identify symbolic precu…
