Papyrusmaterial aus Elephantine und seine signifikanten Merkmale
Decades of restorational processing of the
writing surface, papyrus, have resulted in observations
of detailed material structures that can vary depending
on the production site. This paper presents characteristic
traits of the papyrus material that comes from Elephantine
manufactories. This material is clearly distinct from
material from other places, for example Thebes, Illahun,
and Tebtunis. The differences lie less in the various color
nuances than in the papyruses’ general physical characteristics,
fiber structure, and special surfaces. All visual
observations and all simple measurements made so far
have received support from natural-scientific investigations
for quite some time now.
