Ancient Symbols, Computational Linguistics, and the Reviewing Practices of the General Science Journals
Richard Sproat, 2010. Computational Linguistics.
A short critical piece in Computational Linguistics arguing that Zipf-like symbol distributions are weak evidence that a sign system is writing, and faulting general science journals for publishing such claims about the Indus script by Rao and colleagues.
What it's used for here
The linguistic-datasets survey cites it as part of Sproat's critique of the entropy argument for the Indus script.
