Dispilio Tablet

Most abundant objects were pottery fragments and wooden structural elements, followed by many seeds, bones, figurines, personal ornaments, and flutes.

[3] The site's paleoenvironment, botany, fishing techniques, tools and ceramics were described informally in a magazine article in 2000[4] and by Hourmouziadis in 2002[5] and 2006.

[1] The tablet itself was partially damaged when it was exposed to the oxygen-rich environment outside of the mud and water in which it was immersed for a long period of time, and so it was placed under conservation.

As of 2024[update], a full academic publication assessing the tablet apparently awaits the completion of conservation work.

A large number of sources in popular and social media, and even some scholarly articles, show a wrong image of the tablet, specifically, the modern artistic recreation.
