Description
Bibliography

Intact implement, most possibly a stylus. It was found in 1957 on the south slope of the Acropolis. It is in the form of a shaft with one rounded and one pointy end. The latter helped the user to incise the letters on the waxed surface of wooden plaques. The rounded end helped erasing any mistakes.
