i went to mark van stone's "uncial: what is is and what it ain't" workshop today, though "lecture" might have been more appropriate. and yet not, because damn i had a good time! i think i can finally recognize the differences between early uncial (slanted, easy) vs. late uncial (flat, difficult) vs. half uncial (minuscules!).
(who's mark van stone, you're wondering? i wrote about him in may. he's the master of celtic hands and more recently, mayan glyphs.)
