MDP 26S, 4765

• M482 — Proto-cuneiform sign of uncertain reading; possibly related to a category of commodity or personnel. Appears multiple times, possibly as a heading or category marker.
• M302~b — Variant of proto-cuneiform M302; exact referent unknown. May denote a specific product type or institutional unit.
• M297~b — Variant of M297; referent uncertain. Could relate to a commodity, place, or official category.
• M388 — Proto-cuneiform sign; meaning not established with certainty. Recurs in multiple lines, possibly a sub-category marker.
• M103, M277~g, M131~k, M136~g — Proto-cuneiform signs whose phonetic or logographic values are largely unknown at this early stage of writing; functional rather than linguistic readings are all that can be offered.
• |M036+1(N30D)| — A compound sign combining M036 with an impressed numeral N30D; compound sign identities in proto-cuneiform are often commodity-specific and debated.
• |M136+M365| — Compound sign; referent uncertain. Typical of the combinatory sign-formation attested in the Uruk/Jemdet Nasr corpus.
• N14@b, N34@b, N01@b — The '@b' notation indicates a specific graphic variant (possibly impressed at an angle or in a specific sub-system). Exact metrological values depend on commodity and counting system; cannot be resolved without fuller context.
• N39B — Elongated impressed numeral; possibly belonging to an area or capacity metrological sub-system. Exact value debated in the literature.
• N24 — Medium-order impressed numeral; position in hierarchy depends on which metrological system governs this entry.

Visually, the photograph shows multiple fragments of a roughly triangular clay tablet, now held together with gaps; the upper group (obverse) displays deeply impressed circular and wedge-shaped marks consistent with proto-cuneiform signs and numerical notation of the Uruk period — circular impressed dots (likely N01, N14-class numerals) and incised pictographic signs are visible, including what appear to be M482-class and M302-class pictograms and the characteristic X-like or crossing-wedge signs. The lower fragment shows a different face (reverse or lower obverse) with larger ovoid impressed marks consistent with N34 or N39B-class high-order numerals, and further pictographic signs. The surface is eroded, cracked along two major fracture lines, and several areas are obscured by dirt or spalling; precise sign-by-sign verification from the photo alone is not possible at this resolution. The transliteration provided by the project broadly matches what is visible in terms of the density and layout of signs, the alternation between pictographic commodity signs and numerical impressions, and the presence of a possible totalling entry near the bottom — this is consistent with standard Uruk-period administrative tablet formats as known from Uruk, Jemdet Nasr, and Susa corpora. The sign identifications (M482, M302~b, M297~b, M388, M136, etc.) cannot be individually verified from the photograph at this resolution; confidence is therefore low. The metrological values of N14@b, N34@b, N39B, and N24 remain commodity-dependent and cannot be converted to absolute quantities without fuller context.
