Problems of Linear Elamite
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 15 March 2011
Extract
The system of writing which we call Linear Elamite was fully developed in the 23rd century B.C., but it seems that it did not survive the last of the 12 rulers of the dynasty of Awan. The name of this king was, in Babylonian, Puzur-Inshushinak. He reigned, according to the middle chronology, from c. 2260 to c. 2225 B.C. From c. 2200 B.C. the Elamites used only the Akkadian cuneiform script which they formerly had employed alongside their own Elamite script.
