What it's used for here

Oxford Journal of Archaeology 42(2), pp. 107 to 130. Re-examines the seal-only motifs that CHIC treated as decoration, using their distribution, position and association with recognised signs to argue that some are script signs excluded from the sign list. The main INSCRIBE statement on the seals-as-writing question; full text not retrieved in this session, details taken from the abstract and from Ferrara's 2024 survey chapter.
