چکیده

Twelve proto-Elamite tablets and fragments were found during the 2006-07 excavation at Tape Sofalin in the northernCentral Iranian Plateau. The form and content of these tablets is entirely consistent with that of the standard and late proto-Elamite tablets from Susa, except TSF 11, which we date to the Susa II/GodinV Period. Although all of the inscribedobjects from Tape Sofalin published here are very fragmentary, they document the existence of a developed administrationsystem.
