They are now in the Mahboubian Gallery. Some of these new texts are the longest ones ever found, depicting up to 200 signs.</p><p>In the  past months, the Deciphering Crew at the Institut für Sprachwissenschaft, Universität Bern, has made drawings of the so far unpublished inscriptions and compiled a sign catalogue.</p><p>Preliminary results show that  fragments from Gonur and Altyn Depe formerly tagged as “Linear Elamite”  do not belong to the Linear Elamite text corpus.</p><div><p>The Deciphering Project is hoping to collaborate with scholars of different fields. The web page <a href="http://elamicon.org">http://elamicon.org</a> is an open source project.</p></div>}, journal={BAF-Online: Proceedings of the Berner Altorientalisches Forum}, author={Mäder, Michael}, year={2017}, month={Mar.} }
