Studies of seals and sealing practices have traditionally
investigated aspects of social, political, economic, and
ideological systems in ancient societies throughout the Old World.
Previously, scholarship has focused on description and
documentation, chronology and dynastic histories, administrative
function, iconography, and style. More recent studies have
emphasized context, production and use, and increasingly, identity,
gender, and the social lives of seals, their users, and the
artisans who produced them. Using several methodological and
theoretical perspectives, this volume presents up-to-date research
on seals that is comparative in scope and focus. The cross-cultural
and interdisciplinary approach advances our understanding of the
significance of an important class of material culture of the
ancient world. The volume will serve as an essential resource for
scholars, students, and others interested in glyptic studies, seal
production and use, and sealing practices in the Ancient Near East,
Egypt, Ancient South Asia and the Aegean during the 4th-2nd
Millennia BCE.
