Additional thanks go to the anonymous reviewers, who provided valuable comments and suggestions for additions and clarifications on the manuscript.
A portion of this volume was written during my post-doctorate research position in the Collaborative Research Centre 933 “Material Text Cultures. Materiality and Presence of Writing in Non-Typographic Societies” at the Ruprecht-Karls-Universität Heidelberg (Germany), as part of the subproject A09 “Writing on Ostraca in the Inner and Outer Mediterranean.” I would like to thank all the members and scholars I met between 2016 and 2019 in Heidelberg, who provided assistance, motivation, and good humor to me during the period in which I completed this volume. The CRC 933 is funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG), which I thank for supporting my research during these years.
Finally, I would like to express my gratitude to my family, my greatest shelter, and particularly to Stefania Alfarano and Roberta Casagrande-Kim for their constant encouragement and help. This work could have not been completed without the love, care, and understanding of my husband Gianni, who gave me the strength to continue day after day in the most difficult moments. It is to him that this book is dedicated.
