Origins of Early Writing

Origins of Early Writing Systems

It is a really slow news day so this is thrown in for anyone interested in the origins of early writing systems. The Proceedings from the conference Origins of Early Writing Systems have been posted online. But as surprising as it seems this conference (October 5th -7th 2007) did not seem to have ancient Egyptian (and a number of other very earlier languages) in its agenda. However, Babylonian, Proto-Elamite, Sumerian and Mesopotamian are included.
