    Script and Paleography
    The Proto-Elamite script consists of a logographic system utilizing roughly 1,000 distinct signs, though only about 150 unique graphemes appear with high frequency. Unlike early Sumerian, which rapidly adopted linear and wedge-shaped forms, the PEC script retains a highly pictographic character throughout its attested use, suggesting a slower rate of abstraction or a deliberate retention of visual complexity [2].
