Qin Script
c. 475–206 BCE (Qin, Warring States → Qin dynasty)

Small Seal Script
Standardized 221–206 BCE (Qin); developed earlier in Qin

Clerical Script
c. 300 BCE–220 CE (emerged late Warring States/Qin; dominant Han)
A practical script that evolved from late Warring States/Qin writing; it matured and became dominant in the Han dynasty, favoring faster, more rectilinear strokes.Wikipedia ->
Transmitted Pre-Qin Forms
Pre-Qin forms (≤221 BCE) / late 2nd century BCE onward (Han → later textual transmission)
