The Ostracon Archives
As time permits, we post some of the articles by our
members from past issues. Unless otherwise noted, the article content
posted here is the same as in the printed copy of The Ostracon,
although at lower resolution. Thus, citations should usually be made
to the printed copy. Full print archives of The Ostracon are maintained
by the Egyptian Study Society, and at the libraries
of the Denver Museum of Nature and Science and the University
of Heidelberg, Germany. Contact those libraries or our archivist to
obtain copies of back issues.
These articles are copyrighted by the authors and The
Ostracon is copyrighted by the Egyptian Study Society. You may
print a copy of an article for personal use or research as permitted
under U.S. law and international conventions. You may not alter the
contents of these articles or repost them. Instead of reposting, please
link to this page.
We intend to maintain this page's URL as http://www.EgyptStudy.org/OstraconArchives.html
As is true for the on-line version of the Scribe's
Palette, you will need the Adobe Acrobat reader to view the
posted Ostracon articles. Acrobat Reader is free for personal
use; you can download the current

Thanks to Charles Toth and others we also have our Index
by Date (106Kb, PDF format) and an Index
