(Redirected from Jiahu Script)
Example of the Jiahu script
'"Jiahu script"' (贾湖契刻符号) refers to the 16 markings on
prehistoric artifacts found in
Jiahu, a
neolithic Peiligang culture site found in
Henan,
China. Dated to 6600 BC, some archaeologists believe the markings to be a writing system related to the
Oracle bone script (e.g. similar markings of 目 “eye”, 曰 “sun; day”), but some doubt that the markings represent writing at all.
