Paleography is the study of diachronic change in the shape of the glyphs of a [[writing system]]. As such, it pertains to the evolution of the graphic features of written signs, and not to their function.
In the philological study of ancient texts, paleography is a major criterion for establishing the date of a text, be it a copy or, far more i
Changes in a writing system that originate locally may occasionally spread to different traditions or areas, which is indicative of contact between scribal habits and/or of circulation of written materials, and can therefore support the identification of contacts between and circulation of languages in different regions.

For instance, since the paleography of the texts containing the non-Hittite word <i>lahanni-</i> (on which see Giusfredi 2019) is middle Hittite, corresponding roughly to the XV century BCE, this means that the contact scenario in which the word was borrowed occurred not later than the XV century, which excludes that the word was borrowed, for instance, during the age of the southern expansion of the Hittite Empire to Syria in the late XIV century BCE, in spite of the existence of comparable forms in West Semitic languages of the area.<p>
