This volume is intended to be the first in a series that will focus on the origin of scriptand the boundaries of non-scribal communication media in proto-literate and literatesocieties. Over the last 30 years, the domain of scribes and bureaucrats has become muchbetter known. Our goal now is to reach below the élite and scribal levels to interface withnon-scribal operations conducted by people of the «middling» sort. Who made thesemarks and to what purpose? Did they serve private or (semi-) official roles in BronzeAge 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 theAegean and also provide evidence for cultural and economic exchange networks
