PLOMAT: plotting material flows of ‘commonplace’ Late Bronze Age seals in western Eurasia

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Since the mid-twentieth century, the study of designs on seals has often focused on exotica and elite items. The PLOMAT project investigates visual and material communication outside of elite exchange networks during the Late Bronze Age in western Eurasia. The authors present results from plotting flows of ‘commonplace’ cylinder seals and those classified as ‘Common-Style Mittani’.
