Fossilised Curse Tablet Fragments

England

early-Enthropocene

Fragments of a fossilised curse tablet from a human midden deposit. Its fragmentary lines of script, written in an unknown language (Voces mysticae), are thought to contain spells, invocations, or prayers. The tablet was broken into small pieces prior to deposition, which may have formed part of an activation ritual associated with this ancient spiritual practice.
