I'm starting a project on changes in the English numeral system from ~1800-1950. Very interested in links between changes in technology and bureaucracy and number systems, e.g. how people read and spoke numbers. Anyone have any interesting sources I should be looking at?
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.
