👉 Papyrology is a branch of archaeology that studies the texts and inscriptions found in ancient Greek papyri, which are written on parchment or paper. These texts were used as legal documents, religious texts, and historical records for centuries before they were destroyed by fire, earthquakes, or other natural disasters. The study of papyrology involves analyzing the text itself to understand its meaning and context, as well as examining the inscriptions that accompany it to trace their origin and evolution.
