- This single-author, 95,000 word monograph was supported by a 2015 BA Mid-Career Fellowship. Nearly 500 inkwells and their typological, chronological and context information from across the Empire were recorded from scattered sources. The vast literature on Roman writing equipment is critically reviewed and new perspectives (such as practice theory) and different contexts (notably burial evidence) are employed to explore the age and gender of literate Romans through the prism of a previously neglected category of objects.
