In the late 1800s, archaeologists began discovering engraved stone plaques in Neolithic (3500-2500 BC) graves in southern Portugal and Spain. About the size of one's palm, usually made of slate, and incised with geometric or, more rarely, zoomorphic and anthropomorphic designs, these plaques have mystified generations of researchers. What do their symbols signify? How were the plaques produced? Were they worn during an individual's lifetime, or only made at the time of their death? Why, indeed, were the plaques made at all?
Employing an eclectic range of theoretical and methodological lenses, Katina Lillios surveys all that is currently known about the Iberian engraved stone plaques and advances her own carefully considered hypotheses about their manufacture and meanings. After analyzing data on the plaques' workmanship and distribution, she builds a convincing case that the majority of the Iberian plaques were genealogical records of the dead that served as durable markers of regional and local group identities. Such records, she argues, would have contributed toward legitimating and perpetuating an ideology of inherited social difference in the Iberian Late Neolithic.
Writing is what makes masterminds, legends, creators, builders, developers, and brings the heart and soul out of experiences and into the lives of those around us. Writing is the place on earth where no one can control our thoughts, no one else has an opinion, and most of all it's self-expression. Why write about it? To share it perhaps. To mold it, form it, structure it, and to basically say just what you want to say. Or perhaps in the mind of a writer, you'd ask the question, well, why can't you just say what you mean if there was something on your mind? First and foremost, no one's a mind reader. And half the time, when telling a long-ago story, the ands and buts are never really understood, and all the characters are he and she. And jumping to "then I" is then, well, where did "you" go? And the listener is like, "I don't understand a word you just said." The business world is the same way: you find yourself always depicting how things could be better another way and what the company could use that would make the company a lot better. Again, the boss isn't a mind reader too. That's why Fourteen Articles That Will Increase Your Desire for Writing is a valuable book. Not only will it increase your motivation, make you laugh, and all the oohs and ahhs; but it will also build your ingenuity and your desire to self-express through writing. The networking, blogs, and hacks will be your style and way of thinking and not written in someone else's words.
