Papyrus Palimpsest
I may have missed it, but I saw no mention of papyrus palimpsests. Scribes used to recycle papyrus scrolls. They would take a previously finished scroll and scrape the content off of it. The scraping did not completely erase the content and it was visible especially in the margins of the new writing That provides a layer of complexity when trying to decipher scrolls. The most famous papyrus palimpsest currently, is the Archimedes palimpsest where 7 treatises of Archimedes and other writings were dismantled in 1250 to make a prayer book. Look it up.

good stuff - took a semi-obvious story (I saw the original press release) and found an entire new angle to add to it. Very interesting

A little of everything; outdoors, history, food, even a ghost hunt. So 603 and spooky right now.

I am an avid NPR listener and this is my favorite podcast from any source. The content, delivery, and production level are all excellent. I now find myself searching for similar podcasts but nothing is as good. Thank you for creating this and keep up the good work.
