What it's used for here
Uses the Tărtăria tablets as the test case of the "radiocarbon revolution": if their Vinča context is genuine, calibrated dates make them older than Mesopotamian writing, so they cannot be derived from it; Renfrew doubts they carried meaning independent of speech. London: Jonathan Cape, pp. 186 ff.
