Decipherment of the Cascajal Block Olmec Script under the Wikaira Decipherment Framework`

`This scientific working paper presents the decipherment of the Cascajal Block (Olmec Script, Veracruz, Mexico, c. 1000–800 BCE) under the Wikaira Decipherment Framework. The 11.5 kg serpentine stone (36 cm x 21 cm) featuring 62 glyphs drawn from 28 distinct elements is dominated by maize cobs, pelts, and harvesting tools. Surface polishing, microscopic pitting, and re-grinding wear patterns confirm it operated as an erasable agricultural harvest registry re-ground for seasonal reuse.
