#ceramic shards

“The Digital Corpus of Literary Papyri (DCLP), a new digital tool for researching ancient literature, is not available.”

“Scholars from Heidelberg University and New York University (USA) spearheaded the development of the newly released open-access database, which offers information about and transcripts of Greek and Latin texts preserved on fragments of papyri, but also, for example, on ceramic shards or wooden tablets.”

Today's topic: shards, lost treasures, time

Some of the shards I found in the past few years. The best place to get them is the corn field close to my home, but I found some in my garden too.

They are mostly white, sometimes grey or brown, but the blue ones stand out the most
