writing system was always "cracked" first.
Robinson's "Lost languages" (ISBN 0-07-135743-2) gives good examples,
but the pre-mayan decipherment book "The Story of Decipherment" by
Maurice Pope (alas out of print now and pre-ISBN) is better as it
contains several essays on decipherment which are still valid today

if anyone in the UK is after a copy of the book by Pope, there are 2 copies in the Lion Street bookshop in Hay On Wye. I was there yesterday afternoon.
