This volume addresses the theme of writing in the ancient world, from the Iron Age to the Ottoman period. It brings together the final publication of two excavations that revealed significant inscriptions from the Byzantine period along with research articles presenting newly discovered textual objects, including new understandings of previously studied texts.
