Abstract

This chapter looks at the sealing practices of non-royal Hittite women in the second half of the second millennium BC. It compares the frequency and types of sealings by women at three archaeological sites, which appear to display different proportions of sealings by women as well as different varieties of sealing practices. The essay asks whether gender relationships, more specifically women's agency as expressed through sealing practices, could be configured differently at the three sites.
