This study is a much expanded and updated version of my PhD dissertation (Gothenburg 2005) which concerned the late Etrusco-Italic glyptic production, especially the so-called a globolo and related scarab gems. The new comprehensive study traces and examines the production and use(s) of engraved gems and seal stones in Central and Southern Italy from the early circulation of imported works, the establishment of immigrant (East Greek) engravers in Etruria and the South, and the development of local workshops in the second half of the sixth century BCE, down to the end of the Etruscan, Italic and South Italian production and the establishment of Roman Republican production centres. The holistic study includes an extensive survey of find contexts and other available archaeological data plus new typological and iconographical analyses. The appended list of items in the surviving corpus of gems in public, corporate and private collections updates and adds about 55% new material to earlier Gesamtkatalogen, notably those of Zazoff (1968), Martini (1971), Krauskopf (1995) and Giovanelli (2015).

[The Study of Etruscan Glyptic] Written in Swedish for a popular science journal, this short piece is an outline of the history of scholarship and collecting covering the period c. 1750-2000. There are plans to translate, transform and expand the text into a longer article for an academic journal (I just never get round to it!).
