| Opplysninger | Approaches to the study of writing -- A material typology -- Archaeological context, materiality and content in the Italian databases -- Agency and production : a chaîne opératoire approach -- What difference does writing make? -- Objects that speak -- The ritualization of writing -- What's in a name? -- Gender, writing and objects -- Writing in society.. - "The epigraphy of 1st-millennium-BC Italy has been studied for many years, but these studies have largely concentrated on the languages encoded in the inscriptions and their semantic meanings. This book takes a more holistic approach that looks not only at content, but also the archaeological contexts of the inscriptions and the materiality of their 'supports': the artefacts and monuments on which the inscriptions occur"--
