The Lachish Ostraca

The Lachish Ostraca ‎An ostracon is a piece of broken pottery used as a writing surface. These ostraca are named for the city of Lachish, where they were found. They seem to have been written just before the Babylonian captivity, in the days before Nebuchadnezzar’s troops conquered Lachish and the rest of Judah.
