Script Development Phases

[Early Advanced Uruan]

About 15,000 years to around 12,000 years BP. Ogham-type ‘strokes and dots’ script dominates over pictographs. From now on pictographic writing will be retained only in the depiction of human figures, deities and other religious/ceremonial imagery.
