Information About

Wax Tablet




Wax tablets were used for a variety of purposes, from students' or secretaries' notes to recording business accounts. Early forms of Shorthand were used too.

Some examples of wax-tablets have been preserved in waterlogged deposits, for example in the Roman fort at Vindolanda on Hadrian's Wall .

The modern expression, of ''"a clean slate"'' is related to the Latin expression ''"tabula Rasa"'' .
