Important study of the range of ostraca, in terms of both materials and subject matter held in the major collection of the Petrie Museum. Facsimile reissue of Anthea Page's 1983 catalog of 82 ostraca held in the Petrie Collection, London. Ostraca are flakes of limestone or broken sherds of pottery used essentially as 'notepads' for private letters; laundry lists; records of purchases; roughly inscribed images of people, birds, and animals; and copies of literary works.
