Creative Agency Unbound explores how individuals transform creative potential into creative actions. Creative agency refers to the self-directed capacity to envision and enact meaningful changes within contextual constraints. This Element introduces the updated Creative Behavior as Agentic Action (CBAA) model, explaining four key decision points that shape creative engagement: Can I do this creatively? (creative confidence), Should I do this creatively? (creative centrality), Will I do this creatively? (creative risk-taking), and How will I do this creatively? (creative self-regulation). Each decision and its related self-belief is discussed in successive sections, integrating theory, research, and practical applications to illustrate how creative self-beliefs motivate creative behaviors. This Element serves as a foundational resource for those seeking to understand, study, and foster the transformation of creative potential into creative action.

The La Tene culture hill top settlement in Thunau am Kamp in Lower Austria is undoubtedly one of the most important sites representing this culture in the Middle Danube region. The archaeological artefacts presented in this volume were found from 1965-1990 during the excavations conducted there by Herwig Friesinger. They have been classified according to their typology and chronology. Included are finds characteristic of the eastern areas of the La Tene culture, as well as objects which were certainly imported. The chronology of the artefacts discussed in the volume extends from the early to late La Tene periods. This is the next volume in a series of monographic studies that present different aspects of the multicultural hill top settlement in Thunau am Kamp in Lower Austria.
