This memoir recounts Denise Schmandt-Besserat’s pioneering research into Neolithic clay tokens, proposed as precursors to writing. Blending personal experiences with archaeological discovery, it traces her decades of fieldwork and presents her influential argument that early accounting practices helped give rise to writing and civilization.
