Shan M. M. Winn

American archaeologist whose 1973 UCLA dissertation and 1981 book gave the Vinča signs their standard list and the verdict "pre-writing"

Shan M. M. Winn is american archaeologist, author of Pre-writing in Southeastern Europe (1981), and appears in the record of Vinča signs as american archaeologist whose 1973 UCLA dissertation and 1981 book gave the Vinča signs their standard list and the verdict "pre-writing".

One event on the site involves Winn: Shan Winn publishes Pre-writing in Southeastern Europe with the 210-sign list (1981).

One question rest in part on what Winn did or said, among them “How many distinct Vinča signs are there, and how stable is the inventory across sites and phases?”, which stands no evidence yet.
