Clay has the useful characteristic of being soft and malleable when wet, allowing it to be made into the desired shape and imprinted with writing, and then dries into a more stable form. If fired in a kiln, it becomes very hard and durable (though also brittle, so that it can smash if dropped).</ins></div></td></tr> <tr><td colspan="2">&#160;</td><td class='diff-marker'>+</td><td style="background: #cfc; color:black; font-size: smaller;"><div><ins style="color: red; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;"></ins></div></td></tr> <tr><td colspan="2">&#160;</td><td class='diff-marker'>+</td><td style="background: #cfc; color:black; font-size: smaller;"><div><ins style="color: red; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">Clay tablets were widely used in some ancient civilizations, particularly the Sumerians who used a form of writing called [[cuneiform]] which was specifically adapted to this medium, consisting of shapes made from imprinted wedges. The later invention of [[papyrus]], [[parchment]], and [[paper]] proved to be a more useful medium for writing, leading to the demise of clay tablets. Many of them survive from ancient times, however, being more long-lasting than the newer media which are subject to rotting, burning, and crumbling.</ins></div></td></tr> <tr><td colspan="2">&#160;</td><td class='diff-marker'>+</td><td style="background: #cfc; color:black; font-size: smaller;"><div><ins style="color: red; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;"></ins></div></td></tr> <tr><td colspan="2">&#160;</td><td class='diff-marker'>+</td><td style="background: #cfc; color:black; font-size: smaller;"><div><ins style="color: red; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">== Links and references ==</ins></div></td></tr> <tr><td class='diff-marker'>&#160;</td><td style="background: #eee; color:black; font-size: smaller;"><div>* [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clay_tablet Wikipedia entry on Clay Tablets]</div></td><td class='diff-marker'>&#160;</td><td style="background: #eee; color:black; font-size: smaller;"><div>* [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clay_tablet Wikipedia entry on Clay Tablets]</div></td></tr> <tr><td class='diff-marker'>&#160;</td><td style="background: #eee; color:black; font-size: smaller;"><div>* [http://ww2.valdosta.edu/library/find/arch/online_exhibits/babylonian/babylonian.htm Online Exhibit of Clay Tablets] from South Georgia State Normal College</div></td><td class='diff-marker'>&#160;</td><td style="background: #eee; color:black; font-size: smaller;"><div>* [http://ww2.valdosta.edu/library/find/arch/online_exhibits/babylonian/babylonian.htm Online Exhibit of Clay Tablets] from South Georgia State Normal College</div></td></tr> <tr><td class='diff-marker'>&#160;</td><td style="background: #eee; color:black; font-size: smaller;"><div>* [http://international.loc.gov/intldl/cuneihtml/cuneihome.html Cuneiform tablets exhibit] at the Library of Congress.</div></td><td class='diff-marker'>&#160;</td><td style="background: #eee; color:black; font-size: smaller;"><div>* [http://international.loc.gov/intldl/cuneihtml/cuneihome.html Cuneiform tablets exhibit] at the Library of Congress.</div></td></tr> </table>
