Over the last 30 years, the domain of scribes and bureaucrats has become much better known. Our goal now is to reach below the élite and scribal levels to interface with non-scribal operations conducted by people of the «middling» sort. Who made these marks and to what purpose? Did they serve private or (semi-) official roles in Bronze Age Aegean society? The comparative study of such practices in the contemporary East (Cyprus, Anatolia, the Levant, and Egypt) can shed light on sub-elite activities in the Aegean and also provide evidence for cultural and economic exchange networksNon-scribal communication media in the Bronze Age Aegean and surrounding areas linguisticsbicsscScriptnon-scribal communicationmediabronze ageClayCommon EraCreteCylinder sealCypro-Minoan syllabaryMinoan civilizationlinguisticsJasink Anna Margheritaedt440444Weingarten JudithedtFerrara SilviaedtJasink Anna MargheritaothWeingarten JudithothFerrara SilviaothBOOK9910424587603321Non-scribal Communication Media in the Bronze Age Aegean and Surrounding Areas3017506UNINA
