"Minoan seals have often been described as probelmatically ambiguous. By assembling
and reframing current discourse, this volume challenges the value of characterising
glyptic imagery in this way. Istead ambiguity may indicate the presence of deliberate
practice, incorporateing varied meaning through multivalent or condensed expression,
well suited to the compact size of the glyptic medium. Using a form of relational
network theory, the author explores the ways in which a selection of glyptic images
from Ayia Triada respond to different coneptual and associative contexts and suggests
that the idea of indeterminate ambiguity--as a by-product of western taxonomic systems--may
mask this multivalent aspect. By positioning glyptic imagery as multivalent this volume
makes a signficant contribution to debates within Aegean Bronze Age archaeology and
current interpretative practice."--[P] 4 of cover
