Whitehouse. 330 $aIndividual agents are frequently evident in early writing and notational systems, yet these systems have rarely been subjected to the concept of agency as it is traceable in archeology. Agency in Ancient Writing addresses this oversight, allowing archeologists to identify and discuss real, observable actors and actions in the archaeological record. Embracing myriad ways in which agency can be interpreted, ancient writing systems from Mesoamerica, Mesopotamia, Egypt, Crete, China, and Greece are examined from a textual perspective as both archaeological objects and nascent historical documents. This allows for distinction among intentions, consequences, meanings, and motivations, increasing understanding and aiding interpretation of the subjectivity of social actors. Chapters focusing on acts of writing and public recitation overlap with those addressing the materiality of texts, interweaving archaeology, epigraphy, and the study of visual symbol systems. Agency in Ancient Writing leads to a more thorough and meaningful discussion of agency as an archaeological concept and will be of interest to anyone interested in ancient texts, including archaeologists, historians, linguists, epigraphers, and art historians, as well as scholars studying agency and structuration theory. 606 $aWriting$xSocial aspects$vCase studies 606 $aAgent (Philosophy)$vCase studies 606 $aPaleography$vCase studies 606 $aSocial archaeology$vCase studies 615 0$aWriting$xSocial aspects 615 0$aAgent (Philosophy) 615 0$aPaleography 615 0$aSocial archaeology 676 $a411/.7 701 $aEnglehardt$b Joshua$01633028 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910962644003321 996 $aAgency in ancient writing$94345577 997 $aUNINA
