Writing is so common today, we might think it has always existed. Not so, says Denise Schmandt-Besserat, author of the groundbreaking book Before Writing and an expert in the art and archaeology of the ancient Near East. In the first course in a two-part series, Schmandt-Besserat explains how writing emerged from counting. In a fall session, she will discuss When Writing Met Art, her next book, to be published in 2007.
