Abstract
Description
A sign about "The Rebels' Community Life" describes inscribed pottery shards that were perhaps used for food rationing, as currency, or even to register fighting units. The sign (as photographed here) does not appear to use the technical words ostrica (plural) or ostricon (singular) for broken pottery pieces with writing.
