I have an unreliable recollection of Gimbutas giving credence to
an 'Old European Script'. Another possibility is some of the
markings on the Bronocice pot (discussed around
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/cybalist/message/9280 ), which is dated
to the 6th millenium _BP_. I expect some crank will have a
translation on the Internet.
