 Numero-ideographic tablets from Iran can be distinguished from Mesopotamian ones only by the order of the numerical signs and non numerical signs; in Iran the numerical signs follow the object they qualify, whereas the reverse order is found in texts from Mesopotamia. There is no apparent difference between Mesopotamian and Iranian objects from the first two groups (i.e. tokens and bullae, and numerical tablets).  Numero-ideographic tablets from Iran can be distinguished from Mesopotamian ones only by the order of the numerical signs and non numerical signs; in Iran the numerical signs follow the object they qualify, whereas the reverse order is found in texts from Mesopotamia.

 Proto-Elamite tablets, both early and late, can be distingiushed in a number of ways, based on an analysis of structure and content. The later controlled excavations produced some stratigraphic information for both middle and late proto-Elamite tablets as well as tokens and bullae, and Uruk style tablets. Unfortunately, no early proto-Elamite tablets were found i secure context. Proto-Elamite tablets, both early and late, can be distingiushed in a number of ways, based on an analysis of structure and content.
