# Do the Dispilio tablet, the Gradešnica plaque and the Karanovo seal belong to the same sign tradition as the Vinča pottery marks?

## Where it stands

No answers have been proposed yet.

## Why it matters

The Gradešnica plaque is early Chalcolithic, the Karanovo seal belongs to the later Karanovo VI horizon, and the Dispilio tablet is a Greek lakeside find of 5260 ± 40 BC; the Danube script literature treats all three as one script with the Vinča pottery marks⁠[[1]](https://mysteriesdept.com/sources/SRC0DEDMN10Y281/the-gradesnica-script-revisited)⁠[[2]](https://mysteriesdept.com/sources/SRC0DEDNVAYQCG7/the-karanovo-seal-virtual-museum-of-the-inscriptions)⁠[[3]](https://mysteriesdept.com/sources/SRC0DEDN2BQ0HVN/radiocarbon-dating-of-the-neolithic-lakeside-settlement-of). Owens, reviewing them as an Aegean epigrapher, found no demonstrable connection between them or to the Aegean scripts⁠[[4]](https://mysteriesdept.com/sources/SRC0DEDNE996X68/balkan-neolithic-scripts). The Dispilio marks have never been published, so for that object the question cannot yet be asked⁠[[3]](https://mysteriesdept.com/sources/SRC0DEDN2BQ0HVN/radiocarbon-dating-of-the-neolithic-lakeside-settlement-of).
