内容説明

The book reflects the latest and most relevant historical scholarship based on an in-depth analysis of literature from a wide range of disciplines, including prehistory, archaeology, Assyriology, Egyptology, and Chinese and Mesoamerican studies. Drawing upon the author's experience as a practitioner and scholar of records and archives and his extensive knowledge of archival theory and practice, it embeds its account of the beginnings of recording practices in a conceptual framework largely derived from archival science. It provides the only updated and synoptic overview of early recording practices available worldwide.
