Definition 2008-08-24 mM plaque [Input: S824MM.j]
Description (summary) 2008-08-24 mM Plaque with decorative impressions(?). The object is flat on both sides. The frontal one is burnt, showing a dark gray color. The other side is light brown. Only one edge is preserved, showing a kind of groove in it. The correct orientation of this piece is unclear. Assuming that the preserved edge belongs to the left side, what follows to the right is one vertical line, a set of wedge-shaped impressions (of which at least 7 are to be integrated), two large zig-zag lines resembling two "greater than" signs on the top, and a fragmentary rosette at bottom, looking like a DINGIR sign. All impressions are very deep. The wedges on the left are not made with a stylus, but impressing in the clay some kind of token having triangular section with a 90 degree angle to the surface of the object. Because of this, it is unlikely that they are to be identified with personnenkeil. These facts suggest that the impressions are probably not to be considered as writing, although they look like archaic signs of the Uruk period. The alledged right part is not preserved.
