minus-squaregmtom@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up6·5 months agoI think tablets like these are actually extremely common. I know a guy I spoke to at the British Museum about cuneiform tablets said they literally just have hundreds and hundreds of them in storage and they are most very mundane record keeping.
