The tablets that were found are dated to 5,500 BC, and the glyphs on the tablets, according to Haarmann, are a form of language yet to be deciphered. The symbols, which are also called Vinca symbols, have been found in multiple archaeological sites throughout the Danube Valley areas, inscribed on pottery, figurines, spindles and other clay artifacts.", "sig": "546a3913c0ea24e177bb2012e8193a743b619634f6836a5d4310c0b58d6c6a7dbc067fb80ed394ce142dd26a52fc654dc8277cbbc8ff19d5024da7cb5c61383a" }
