## What it's used for here

Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2026.01.17. An independent chapter-by-chapter summary of the 2024 volume: the consensus that seal and clay signs form one signary, Jasink and Weingarten's view of seals as ornaments whose script was seen rather than read, Davis's syllabotactic test and the reviewer's doubts about it, the acrophonic proposals of Meissner and Salgarella, and the objection to the "Europe's first script" framing. Used for the state of the debate as seen from outside the editorial team.
