A fascinating new research that challenges what we know about the numerical notations on the Visigothic slates. Today we highlight the article by our co-PI @nereavsk.bsky.social "Numbers on the Visigothic Slates: A Cognitive Approach".

This new article on artificial memory systems "tallies" / "counting devices" is very important. It provides new ways of identifying Paleolithic AMS, and thus the origins of extended numerical cognition in humans.
